You think it sounds more like hypertensive crisis? Maybe...it just doesn't make much sense, especially since that was such a small amount of selegeline. But I think it's likely true, that pot was adulterated with something. Especially since you report no problems mixing either selegeline or parnate with it. Very interesting.> Sounds more like a mild hypertensive crisis, but I don't see how marijuana alone could do that - it's much more likely that your source was contaminated. I actually asked my own supplier if the pot he gave me contained speed after I had a headache starting a new batch, but I sometimes have that reaction to marijuana anyway and my blood pressure was normal when I tested it (I have a self-inflating cuff at home).
