    This really sucks. And let's be honest: happens all the time.

    No. But it can damage your mind (alter your brain for the worse), and/or open you up to a varying degree of demonic influences and the deleterious effects of that.
    Whether you believe that or not, that is up to you discover the consequences of... as many others did in the same way, unfortunately.

    Short answer: There's no direct harm to speaker cones and voice coils from weed smoke. But there are other threats: tar/residue builds up on monitor grilles and internals, fire risk, impaired volume perception (you can fry your tweeters).
    And here's a life hack: if the residue on your equipment is sticky and has that distinct smell – you might have accidentally started a cottage industry hashish production
    But seriously folks: smoking is harmful and dangerous – for your health, your creativity, and your studio equipment.
    In general, take care of your equipment and your sober ears!
