No: Your baby will not born with THC in his or her system if you quit at 9 weeks. Please ensure that your obstetrician is aware of the THC use.

No so long as you...: .....don't smoke anymore before they're born. Smoking ANYTHING is bad and potentially even worse during the first trimester. You should be taking EXTRA EXTRA care not to ingest or do things to your body AT LEAST for the first 13 weeks if not your ENTIRE pregnancy to prevent complications and difficulties for which your child cannot control and may not be able to do much about later in life.

Unlikely: Good for you. If you abstain, there should be no residual in baby. However, if you are in a confined space with other smokers you may inhale enough to leave some in baby. The fetus begins making poo after 12 weeks and that material can trap THC and keep it for months.
