Cannabis + Aspirin, Carisoprodol, Codeine Phosphate
Aspirin, Carisoprodol, Codeine Phosphate brand name: Soma Compound w/ Codeine.
Aspirin, Carisoprodol, Codeine Phosphate falls into 3 drug categories that Cannabis can interact with; the most serious is rated moderate. Theoretically, cannabis might have additive effects if used with other CNS depressants.

These two interact in 3 distinct ways. Each one is explained separately below.
Why Are There 3 Interactions?
Cannabis interacts with whole categories of medication. Aspirin, Carisoprodol, Codeine Phosphate falls into 3 of those categories, so it can interact with Cannabis in 3 different ways. We’ve listed each one below — your overall risk is driven by the most serious of them (Moderate).
CNS DEPRESSANTS
1 of 3Why this applies to Aspirin, Carisoprodol, Codeine Phosphate
Aspirin, Carisoprodol, Codeine Phosphate falls under CNS DEPRESSANTS — the group Cannabis interacts with.
Cannabis can have CNS depressant effects. Combining cannabis with other CNS depressants might result in additive or synergistic effects. A small clinical trial in healthy adults shows that inhaling a high-grade cannabis (Bedrocan International B.V., Veendam, The Netherlands) 100 mg, containing delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol 21.8% and cannabinol 0.1%, modestly increases subjective feelings of sedation when compared with cannabis alone.
Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.
This combination pill (Soma Compound with Codeine) already carries two ingredients that can slow you down: carisoprodol, a muscle relaxer, and codeine, an opioid. Both calm the central nervous system. Cannabis can do the same thing, so layering it on top may stack those effects. In real terms, you could feel more drowsy, foggy, dizzy, or off-balance than usual, and in larger amounts your breathing can become slower or more shallow.
To be fair, this concern is mostly theoretical, based on how these substances work rather than strong studies, and one small trial showed only a modest bump in sedation. Still, I would not drive or do anything risky until you know how you react. Please check with your doctor or pharmacist before pairing them.

ANTICOAGULANT/ANTIPLATELET DRUGS
2 of 3Aspirin, Carisoprodol, Codeine Phosphate also falls under ANTICOAGULANT/ANTIPLATELET DRUGS.
In vitro research shows that the cannabis constituents delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) inhibit platelet aggregation.
Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.
This combination product (Soma Compound with Codeine) contains aspirin, which already thins your blood a bit by keeping platelets from clumping together. The concern here is the aspirin piece. Lab studies suggest that cannabis compounds (THC and CBD) may also nudge platelets toward sticking together less, so in theory, pairing the two could add up and raise your chance of bruising or bleeding more easily.
I want to be honest about how soft this evidence is. It comes from test-tube research, not real patients, so it's mostly theoretical and not something I'd expect to cause big problems for most people. Still, if you notice easy bruising, nosebleeds, or bleeding gums, mention it. Please check with your pharmacist or doctor before combining these, rather than changing anything on your own.

CYTOCHROME P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) SUBSTRATES
3 of 3Aspirin, Carisoprodol, Codeine Phosphate also falls under CYTOCHROME P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) SUBSTRATES.
Research shows that cannabidiol (CBD), a constituent of cannabis, inhibits CYP2C19. In clinical studies and case reports, cannabidiol use resulted in significant increases in the serum levels of topiramate, methadone, citalopram, omeprazole, and N-desmethylclobazam, the primary active metabolite of clobazam. These chemicals are metabolized by CYP2C19. Concomitant use of cannabis with CYP2C19 substrates may increase the risk for adverse effects from these substrates.
Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.
This combination product (Soma Compound with Codeine) has three pieces, and the part that matters here is the carisoprodol, the muscle relaxer. Carisoprodol is broken down by the CYP2C19 enzyme into meprobamate. CBD from cannabis can slow that same enzyme down, so the carisoprodol may hang around longer than usual.
In plain terms, that could mean stronger or longer-lasting drowsiness, dizziness, and a foggy, sedated feeling, especially since codeine is also sedating. To be clear, this is a theoretical concern based on how the drugs work, not something proven with this exact product, so don't panic. Still, please check with your pharmacist or doctor before pairing them, and never drive while you feel impaired.

About Cannabis
What is Cannabis?
- Chronic pain
- Nausea and vomiting from chemotherapy
- Muscle spasticity (e.g., multiple sclerosis)
- Anxiety and stress
- Sleep problems
- Appetite stimulation
Cannabis contains many active compounds, mainly THC (which causes a 'high') and CBD (which does not). Some uses, such as chemotherapy-related nausea, certain seizure disorders, and muscle spasticity, have meaningful evidence, while many other popular uses are not well proven. It can cause real side effects and impairment, so talk to your doctor or pharmacist and follow your local laws before using it.
