I agree with Angel. Read up on trip sitting. I guess it's not usually done for weed consumption, but still applicable to some degree. As for the suicide hotline, I guess the trevor project is probably most suitable in her case: https://www.thetrevorproject.org/get-help/

Also important: don't judge her. Recommendations are fine, but the most important thing is that she can trust you and that you listen to her.

And of course, you should also think about your own safety. You can also use the Trevor Project hotline to get advice for yourself. If possible, connect with the local community and build a support network
