 Go ahead and tell him what you're feeling. He may have changed quite a bit, but old friendships like that hold something more. It's possible he may not want to continue your friendship, but it wouldn't be bad for you to talk to him. He'll likely realize what he's losing now in a few years when he grows out of this phase.
My best friend and I have known each other for 25 years. During that time we had long periods when we didn't talk or hang out, but we've always been friends. We always will be friends. Sometimes a friend just needs to be reminded of the people that care for them.
If you do talk to him. Don't talk about his choices or who he's hanging with unless he brings it up. Just let him know you miss hanging out and hope you guys don't lose touch.
