Well the marijuana itself isn't harmful, its the smoke and oxygen deprivation that is. There hasn't been one confirmed death related to marijuana nor a lung cancer report due to only using marijuana(as long as she doesn't smoke cigs or other stuff). But if she want to quit it might be a little hard, because she has a habit, she's not addicted, is just a physiological habit. Just have her smoke every other day, then work up to once a week, and then maybe stop at once a month or it depends on whenever you think is right. You could also check if she qualifies for a medical card in your state, so she can do it legally. Good Luck with what option your gonna go with.

She would need professional health to get off this; but she should because she's doing harm to herself by continuing ...

It depends where her problem originates. If she has some underlying emotional issues that she is not dealing with, than her use of of the herb is no more than plain substance abuse. I know a girl who has been molested as a child and subjected to family violence and she refuses to address it... then will take muscle relaxants or whatever it's just kind of messed up. I think that's substance abuse.

Therapy usually always ups the success rate during medicinal use and it's a bit messed up that she finds therapy doesn't work but will smoke up every day instead to numb. Marijuana is an awesome medicine, don't get me wrong, but substituting it for any real work you need to do on yourself is lazy and cowardly.

So before you tie yourself to her more permanently, make sure you know what's going on here. Do you think there are issues she is shrugging off that she should deal with?

If you can answer yes to that question, be very wary (can you imagine her unstable and a mom to your children? ick! What if you break up and she has them living under the same roof with another man and is just plain crazy? Happens to a lot of ppl, protect yourself and any innocent parties like future children). You would want to make sure she can be a reliable and stable partner and is taking responsibility for her own mental health.
