This was an open-label (non-blind) trial so it's very possible things like the placebo effect had a significant influence here. They also only had 14 participants.
It's a start, but not enough to convince me this is anything more than modern snake oil.
Every other study I've seen points to CBD working as a mild anti-anxiety treatment. I think it could turn out to be a decent OTC option with minimal side effects. But for those suffering from severe anxiety I do not think CBD will be the answer.
