YES: Discussion: marijuana may increase warfarin anticoagulant effect by inhibiting its metabolism, and to a lesser extent, displacing warfarin from protein-binding sites. Other causes (eg, nonadherence) of the patient's increased inr were ruled out. Using the horn drug interaction probability scale, our patient's warfarin/marijuana interaction appeared to be probable.Ann pharmacother. 2009 jul;43(7).
