This is the dumbest idea I think you've had. (note: you're not dumb - the idea is.)
I can think of no way that would more efficiently torpedo a career than calling the cops on a superior with a recreational drug habit. If one of my people did that to one of my peers in the office, my subordinate would soon discover they were out on their ass for trumped up reasons. It's an amazing display of disloyalty, and entirely outside normal corporate channels. In effect, what you've proposed is to have the guy arrested and possibly jailed because he's making you look bad.
The proper way to do this in a corporate culture is through either your direct supervisor or through HR. If the authorities need to be called, it's HR's job to call them, not yours.
Again, if I were your supervisor and you dropped the dime on another team leader for drug abuse, I would crawl up your ass with a microscope to find a reason to fire you in the most demeaning way possible. You've set out to embarrass that individual and the company, and that's not a person I would ever want working for me.
