Yes, spider mites are harmful to Cannabis. The latch on to the underside of the plants leaves and "suck" life giving sap. Leaves are perforated with multiple insertion points which inhibit chlorophyll production. The marijuana plant will loose partial to full function. Treat with soapy water (Very diluted) or a manufactured miticide.

Aside from being bitten, Spider mites are dangerous because they contain many pathogens. This can be fatal to someone who has a compromised immune system. Since these mites kill the plant, growers spray their plants with toxic miticides. Smoking these compounds are a danger to anyone's health.
