temporary solution: okay, say your gonna smoke with him, let him pack his bowl, have him pass it to you, then 'drop' it. make sure your outdoors or in an enviroment where it would be difficult to pick up the weed and put it back in, you can also find his stash and A: dispose of it in an orderly fashion B: ship it to me, and ill dispose of it via incineration.

This happened to me when I was your age roughly, with two different friends. One still does that and drinks occasionally but never did anything worse than that, still kept his grades up and is fine. The other (and not to scare you) almost didn't graduate and is just trying to quit heroin because he made a lot of not so good decisions. Really, the chances your friend will be okay are fairly good, but using drugs is never an advisable course of action. I would try talking to your friend and explain to him that you are uncomfortable with what he is doing and are concerned for him, and tell him why you would like him to stop. Also be sure to explain that you will not be engaging in smoking with him, and that you do not like him pressuring you to join him. And there is always the choice to tell an adult you trust and get their opinion too. If none of this works, I suppose I don't really know what else you can do, but if you are really concerned about him and he won't listen, you are going to have to tell someone most likely, which may mean that he gets in trouble.

I would maybe be more worried about the drinking than the smoking. How old is he? If he's around your age (12-15) I don't really think he should be doing either... But apparently he is. Just confront him about it, tell him you don't like that he does it and you just want the best for him as a friend and person. I won't risk being hypocritical, so I'll admit I do those things and more, but than again I'm a little older than 13 (which is no excuse to be doing any drugs or other substances) Drugs and alcohol are like artists, some people take them too seriously and some not enough.
