Marijuana is not physically addictive. Psychological dependency is common: this means that a user will want to use MJ again, because they like the way it makes them feel, although there is no persistent chemical change in the brain.
The recovery potential should be looked at as part of improving the whole life and surroundings of the user.
Treat the circumstances that make the user want to get stoned, and you might break the user's habit. Finally, though, the choice is with the person using the MJ, and unless the user is a minor or otherwise under guardianship, that choice can't be made on their behalf.

To the extent of my knowledge (as a therapist and social worker) marijuana is not physically addictive. It IS however, psychologically addictive. I believe there is always some recovery potential... but what needs to be addressed is the underlying issues marijuana usage is almost always a result of an underlying issue(s).

marijuana is not addictive, that i know of.
the problem really starts when the marijuana becomes crack, or some other strong drug.
