For me, it doesn't. Or more precisely, it helps with anxiety, but at the same time I'm not able to do anything productive, so it's not a therapeutic option. On the other hand, benzodiazepines (such as Xanax) have helped me a lot occasionally. For instance, I couldn't work properly a few days before a stressful event because I was too anxious (typically, before giving a talk). I'm convinced that therapeutic cannabis is for the most part an excuse for legalization and there are better alternatives drugs with less side effects for most of the conditions it is advertised for.
