I have no doubt that marijuana helps a great many people with their anxiety issues, but I recommend caution if you've never tried it before. Search for marijuana/weed in r/anxiety and you'll find many people that think marijuana made their anxiety worse, or caused it to manifest after a bad session.
As somebody that was diagnosed with a generalized anxiety disorder a couple of years ago, I've personally never tried it to see what the effect would be for me. Exercise, being honest about it with my spouse, and a "goal-oriented life" has been crucial to beating my own anxiety, so much so that it rarely affects my life anymore. In fact, most days I don't even think about it, which would have been hard to believe when it was at its worst after first being diagnosed.
Just to be clear, I'm not against using marijuana at all. If it helps your anxiety, great! I only write this as someone that frequents r/anxiety and has witnessed people there writing about both the good and the bad of marijuana.
