Current generation students are in the threat of various substances and addictive behaviours; not only males but also females are in the trap. Despite being illegal, cannabis and other substances like LSD and Opiate lure the young and other people in current context of mobile and changing world and Nepal. When youths are in the trap of such addictions, they are bound to various consequences including dependence and complications like: disruption of study, career, work; developmental, psychiatric, physical, familial, social, financial, legal, safety and violence-related risks. Safety, violence and sexual issues are striking especially for a female substance user. This case report intends to draw attention to substance use and use disorder, mainly illicit including cannabis among growing literate Nepalese women; and also, to its implication in the course of co-morbid mental disorder, e.g., Bipolar mood.
