Article Analysis #2: Implementing social justice in the transition from illicit to legal cannabis

Purpose/Goals

The first section of each article analysis must describe the focus, purpose, or goals of
the article. Start with a sentence or two that describes in your own words what you believe
the focus, purpose, or goals are. Follow up by providing evidence to support your first
sentence by referring directly to the article (be sure to include APA-formatted in-text citations,
complete with page numbers to the part of the article you’re referencing). Lastly, conclude the
section by explaining why you believe the evidence supports your assertion. The resulting
structure of the section is thus: assertion -> evidence in support of assertion -> argument linking
the evidence to the assertion.
Methods
The second section of each article analysis must describe the article’s methodology and
describe how the author(s) collected information for the article. Start with a sentence or two
that describes in your own words what you believe the article’s methodology was. Follow up by
providing evidence to support your first sentence by referring directly to the article (be sure to
include APA-formatted in-text citations, complete with page numbers to the part of the article
you’re referencing). Lastly, conclude the section by explaining why you believe the evidence
supports your assertion. The resulting structure of the section is thus: assertion -> evidence in
support of assertion -> argument linking the evidence to the assertion.
Results/Findings
The third section of each article analysis must describe the findings reported by the
article, i.e., what the author(s) discovered in the course of working on the article. Start with a
sentence or two that describes in your own words what you believe the findings are. Follow up by providing evidence to support your first sentence by referring directly to the article (be sure to include APA-formatted in-text citations, complete with page numbers to the part of the article you’re referencing). Lastly, conclude the section by explaining why you believe the evidence supports your assertion. The resulting structure of the section is thus: assertion -> evidence in support of assertion -> argument linking the evidence to the assertion.

Conclusion
The fourth section of each article analysis must describe the conclusions that the author(s) drew from their research. The conclusions are different from the findings in that they’re the author(s) interpretation of those findings. Often, this can be found in the “discussion” section of an article. Start with a sentence or two that describes in your own words what you believe the conclusions are. Follow up by providing evidence to support your first sentence by referring directly to the article (be sure to include APA-formatted in-text citations, complete with page numbers to the part of the article you’re referencing). Lastly,
conclude the section by explaining why you believe the evidence supports your assertion. The resulting structure of the section is thus: assertion -> evidence in support of assertion -> argument linking the evidence to the assertion.
Application/Implications
The fifth and final section of each article analysis must analyze how this article fits into your overall understanding of the focus of the class, Drugs & Society. To do this, you should carefully draw connections between the content of the article and what you’ve read in the textbook chapters and watched in the documentaries for the course. Start with a sentence or
two that describes in your own words what you believe the main connections are (there may be several). Follow up by providing evidence/examples to support your first sentence by referring directly to theboththe articleandthe other sources from the class such as the textbook and documentaries (be sure to include APA-formatted in-text citations to all of the sources you mention–if you’re not sure how to properly format citations to the textbook and documentaries, please see here).
