I don't think that THC is terribly effective as an anxiolytic. Some of the other cannibinoids that are found in marijuana are, however. In fact, there are endogenous neurotransmitters that attach to the canniboid receptors located in the brain - anandamide being one. Non-THC cannibinoids are, ironically, being studied as treatments for schizophrenia.
Marijuana exacerbated my social anxiety to the point of paralyasis. I literally didn't couldn't a muscle in large social gatherings.
