Science: Interaction of anti-inflammatory drugs and THC Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin and indomethacin have been shown to decrease the analgesic effects of cannabinoids.

Conversely chronic use of THC also decreases the efficacy of nonsteroidal anti- inflammatory drugs possibly by altering the cyclooxygenase system. (Source: Anikwue R, et al. J Pharmacol Exp Ther 2002 Oct;303(1):340-6)
