Critical Analysis
Problem
The problem of the research is described to a greater extent, where the researchers
elaborate on the occurrence of public health issues due to the consumption of Cannabis sativa
by college students. Essential statistics have been provided regarding the percentage of
students who consume marijuana, which has helped to increase understanding of the current
situation. It can be seen that this topic has its significance at the international level as
consumption of marijuana is a public issue, which is impacting the youths of society. The
authors of this article have provided excellent background information about the problem,
which has helped to build a clear idea. The quantitative study has helped to collect fresh data
regarding different variables like consumption tendencies, the impact of legalization of
Cannabis sativa, and the frequency of consumption of marijuana with other substances.
Review of literature
During the research, various authentic secondary sources have been reviewed. The
selection of the appropriate literature has helped to demonstrate the background of the chosen
issue. After reviewing the articles, information about the risky behavior associated with the
consumption of Cannabis sativa has been mentioned. On the other hand, the relation of this
habit with respiratory problems and chronic diseases has been discussed. Different
perspectives towards the selected topic have been presented with the help of different
viewpoints of authors of different journals. However, a well-designed literature review part is
missing in the case of this article. As mentioned by Boelens, De Wever & Voet (2017), it can
be considered as a weak point of this article. It has been found that a critical analysis of
different papers is not clearly present in this paper, which can fail to make readers aware of
the need to do this investigation. The literature review part could be more organized with
related headings and subheadings.
