If he wants to quit and recognises that he's an addict he could find a Narcotics Anonymous group:

Well speaking from a personal experience, I dont think Mj is that addictive as other drugs. Actually I wont even categorise mj as a drug. What makes you think it addictive is that when you take it ou enjoy it and you dont want to lose it and want more of it.
It does not result in our body demanding for more but it is all in your mind. With a little bit of will-power you can easily overcome this craving.

I smoked weed for 8 years and I have stopped for 3 months . Your friend is in the first stage , tell him to every day wake up and remember that he want to quit , that should be the first thought that comes to his head and also look to do other things with his time and slowly he will be able to quit .

Half of the fuel is spend to get the space rocket off the ground . Some thing to think about all you have to do is take the first step and the rest will follow .

He needs to join a help group. Quitting alone is nearly impossible because the addiction is just too strong. Join a help group, see a doctor, and take some counseling, that will make it so much easier.

Recovery from 5 years of addiction can be really tough but not impossible , your friend should go get some specialized help, you can help him by taling to him , take him to a concellor , or rehab that would help.

It won't be easy as he may well have an emotional depenence on it as well as a physical one (there are studies which have suggested that it is possible).
Check out the local support groups, get some information about how you can help and be a friend. If he's serious then he'll appreciate your support once he's clean.
