Actually, reading Dr. Frankel's site, he too admits that cannabis does cause anxiety.

.. But he seems to think that strain is the important thing and that some strains may be used to great effect in treating anxiety. I can accept such a claim as it's certainly a bit more moderated than a general claim that MJ is good against anxiety.
