There were 75 engineering students and 125 Medical students. 90 females and 110 male students, out of 200, 134 were single and 66 were married i.e. 67% were single and 33% were married. Majority i.e. 31% of both groups strongly agree about the cognitive impairment effects of cannabis.

Interestingly 76.9/ has come from the students regarding craving and physical effects. Conclusion:According to my study, medical students has more knowledge towards the effects of cannabis compared to engineer students.Male students of both groups have slightly more edge regarding effects of cannabis compared to female students. Married persons have less knowledge compared to single students as there may be change in their perception.
