It has the same chemical in it aspirin does when you metabolize aspirin, so it's good as an anti-inflammatory.
Edit: after doing a little bit more research and being corrected below, I am editing this.
While ghost pipe has been used as traditional medicine, and some people still use it as traditional medicine, it could also be toxic.

I don't know where you heard that but it's incorrect

I appreciate the correction. I'm not sure where I found that about endocannabinoids.
Anyway, ghost pipe does contain an aspirin metabolite and is medicinal. It also may be toxic.
Actually don't suggest using it as traditional medicine and I will add that to my original comment.

And it has glycosides too! So it may also be toxic to humans.

Yeah, I actually picked up on that yesterday.
Someone that sent to traditional medicine gave me some. I think I will avoid it in the future.
And I edited my comments above to reflect that this morning
