I looked for it and anxiety treatment is not something that comes up in the wikipedia article for medicinal cannabis.

We all know that mild to moderate anxiety, depression, chronic pain, chronic fatigue, insomnia and others are very, very common problems for most people. Cannabis, clearly helps patients with clinical depression and anxiety. I have no doubt that for many patients with mild or moderate anxiety or depression, Cannabis clearly helps them. It has virtually no side effects and when the correct strains are administered in the correct manner at the correct time, they are both effective and extremely safe.
