How Does the Consumption of Marijuana in Younger Communities Affect Academic Performance in Canada

Abstract

This research focuses on the consumption of marijuana in youth communities. Despite the fact that Canada has strictly prohibited the consumption of marijuana by the underage population, there is still a considerable amount of cases. Numerous research indicated the negative effect of marijuana consumption by youth, and the major impact might be brain development. With the legalization trend of marijuana from 2000-2018 in Canada, more cases of marijuana consumption by youth and more impact on academic performance are expected. The result of the research disagrees with the hypothesis by revealing an opposite trend compared to the expectation. This research might provide an image of the marijuana trend in Canada.
