'Ketamine Queen' sentenced to 15 years in Matthew Perry's overdose death

Yeah, I was gunna say you probably don't hear about it when neither is famous. Doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

Its pretty rare. I know quite a few people who overdosed on illegal drugs. I know people who sold drugs. The only time shit went down it's cause a 15 year old had a stroke or something - so again, a hierarchy of victims 

Found the drug dealer

It’s cause the news articles about this only refer to the drug dealer as “Ketamine Queen” in their article titles, not her actual name like they do with Matthew Perry, which makes it seem like she is just named Ketamine Queen.

Sure, but in the run up to that, addiction is a terrible burden on families, citizens, medical care, just to clean them up and release them. The cost to society is factored into laws. A drug addiction OD’s, who provides for their children? Unclear.

Wtf lol wonder why that opinion is so unpopular

He bragged about how massive his addiction and drug use was. Filming the final episode of Friends he said he had no feelings about it at all. (That’s evident by how detached he acts at the end as they all leave the apartment.). He was taken immediately after filming to a Malibu drug rehab; the car was waiting for him. He was constantly focused on his next drug buy. He blamed narcotics he was given as a colicky infant to make his physiology an addictive one. He talks about how his first taste of wine as a teen triggered his brain to constantly crave alcohol. He brags about it. I gave up after about 4 chapters.

He’s a total d***. Read it.

Dont be reductive. Ketamine is not available retail.

do you wanna talk about it hun

The guy that sold her that hat said she's the only one he's ever seen pull it off

I wonder how many people Anheuser-Busch has killed with their products. Seems like they should be a much larger target than going after some lowly street dealer.

Charge them for trafficking. Still a hefty sentence. You know, the thing they actually did

And if you do you face murder charges? What?

Exactly. The guy's loaded his body with drugs for the better of 3 decades, finally it catches up with him, and it's.....her fault?

Crickets.

If they are negligent with their product that ends up killing people? What kind of question is this? Do people think this is some kind of gotcha?

Getting nailed is fine my only problem is the murder charges. It's one thing I'd she like cut it with fent or some other dangerous adulterants. But him drowning high in a jacuzzi is kinda like a whole other thing.

Yes you can. There's quite a few different tele-health companies that offer ketamine treatment that supposedly and from the little tidbits i've read they don't really seem monitored to any extreme lengths. Not to mention that even if a prescriber did addiction screens honestly (because people can lie if it's not in there medical charts and no drug testing is done), someone isn't going to automatically be ruled out purely based on a history of past addiction if they're clean now. Some prescribers might not be willing to prescribe any controlled substances to ANYONE with any history of addiction (which in my opinion makes them a crappy doctor), but for many other doctors they do it more so on a case by case basis. I struggled with addiction from like 12/13 until i was like 20/21, but once i was clean for a couple years i luckily found a doctor who was ok with prescribing me the controlled substances we felt like i needed, one of which being a take as needed benzo which was the main substance class i was addicted to in the past. I've never abused anything they've prescribed me however, as i know i'm extremely lucky to not recieve biased treatment and would never want to mess that up. I also did several sessions of ketamine treatment through them, but that was inpatient so i understand that's significantly different then a provider prescribing ketamine for at home use.

Um do these screens exist at liquor stores?

I don't neccesarily know if i believe in ketamine "microdosing", but you're being ignorant if you don't think that doctor-supervised ketamine treatment can be an effective treatment option for many people who have tried and failed to find condition improvement after trying other options first. Obviously it doesn't help everyone, but it has truely helped alot of people.

My therapist suggested ketamine. It changed my life for the better. Stop pretending you have all the answers.

Hey this a really irresponsible thing to say when for people with treatment resistant depression, ketamine (WITH PSYCHIATRIC SUPERVISION) might be the only medication that works. There’s a big difference between an episode of depression and treatment resistant major depressive disorder.
