As soon as I found out I was pregnant I quit both weed and cigarettes (10 smokes a day I was doing before that) at 5 weeks pregnant I stopped.
Trust me, its only hard for the first 2-3 weeks. But after that hump it gets MUCH easier.  What helped me was thinking if 7 minutes of momentary pleasure was worth a lifetime of pain for my child. And both you and I know it's not worth it. Just stick it out.  It's hard, but you can do it!

I'm 26 weeks and I still smoke weed. Everyone has something to say but as long as your baby is OK. I wouldn't be too worried. Make sure your doctor knows though.. By the way this is my first so I don't know much

Just be careful with continuing to smoke weed. I know in the state of Georgia and Ohio, they take a mandatory drug test when your admitted for labour, and if it's positive, they have to forward the results to CPS.
No judgment because I was a lifetime weed smoker... but I quit the moment I found out I was pregnant...I tried to justify and find studies that supported weed smoking while pregnant.. but what I found (and saw from this other woman's child) is that although there are no immediate concerns.. when that child is 3-6years old,  they will be slower paced than others, possibly even "dumb". This one woman I know smoked weed throughout her pregnancy and her child is 6 and barely speaks.  
Just quit. It's not worth it.
