Don't tell her mom. That woud be snitching and it will likely end your friendship. Furthermore, her mother will likely become hysterical and her overreaction will do more harm than the pot will do without having an affect on your friend's behavior in the long run: if she loves it, she's going to use it. You aren't your friend's parent and while it's right to be concerned it really isn't your business to run your friend's life or to decide that you know better than your friend what her choices should be.

I would add that while it can lead to demotivation and cause intellectual impairment, marijuana has no serious health effects and possession of small amounts is a minor crime which in most cases merits only a ticket. I'm not doing this to suggest that it's benign, it isn't, and you're right to stay away from it, but to set your mind at ease. It is, overall, a less harmful drug than alcohol.

you can tell someone if you want, but be prepared to not have her as your friend anymore.
