I think he told you so he can find out what you think about the situation. What you need to do is to say “I am absolutely not cool with this. It can jeopardize my housing/college situation. You need to not ever have pot in this room or I will have to report it. So maybe you should find a different room or something.”

From an article:
A POT PROBLEM

Midway through the semester, you realize that your roommate smokes marijuana and he likes to do it in your room. What should you do?

Sharma: Tell him or her, “If you want to drink or smoke, do it off campus.”

Frey: Before you report your roommate, see if you can talk things out. Tell him you don’t want him to smoke in the room anymore and explain that you have a right to a smoke-free environment, and chances are your university has a no-drug policy. Let him know that if you catch him smoking in the room again, you’re going to have to report him.

Ali: As popular as marijuana is, it is still illegal, and if you do not want to jeopardize your housing and educational endeavors, then it is important that you immediately remove yourself from the situation. You may want to consider speaking with your roommate and asking him to not smoke in your room to ensure that you are not involved in any policy violations that will result in the university pursuing judicial sanctions against you. If that fails, contact campus police or a housing staff member to document the situation.
