Sumario:We describe a case of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) in a 32-year-old female who initially presented with a several-day history of worsening rash. Diagnosis of cannabinoid-associated SJS was established following skin biopsy and detailed history-taking of medication and other recreational drug usages. The patient was treated with pain management, antihistamines, and topical steroids with no complications following discharge. There currently exists limited literature describing SJS due to recreational drug usage.
