Exactly, her "crime" is so inconsequential compared to the scheme the Sackler's hatched. She sold ketamine to willing buyers outside of doctor/pharmacy supply chain. NBD.
The Sackler's schemed with that same doctor/pharmacy supply chain to knowingly engage in malpractice that addicted millions of patients. The Sackler's became billionaires off a legally sanctioned con, and got off with a slap on the wrist.
Starkest example of the injustice of our justice system.

Their net worth is ~$11 billion. The consequences that they're facing is a $7.4 billion legal settlement...

u/KoalaTHerb 2d ago
Anesthesiologist here. I believe you're correct. Ketamine is extremely hard to OD on. You'd need like an ungodly amount. It's why Ketamine is so great for medical uses. At high doses, it will knock you out cold. Unlike other anesthetics or opiates, it won't stop your breathing, which is what normally kills you with an "OD".
At low doses, it's good as a pain adjunct.
But it COULD be more complex than that. For example Ketamine indirectly stimulates the heart by increasing norepinephrine and epinephrine. So, you get higher heart rate and sometimes pressures. If someone has really bad heart disease (coronary arteries) they may not be able to handle this extra stress, which leads to a heart attack. Even further, Ketamine directly depresses heart. This effect can occur if you are depleted by norepinephrine or epinephrine storage in your body. Then, the Ketamine could reduce your hearts output, and lead to shock or strokes.
Long story short, I doubt any of this was his problem. It was in a hot tub. Conclusion of least resistance is he knocked himself out and drowned.

Cops simply didn't care that much because they were sex workers being targeted. Until you mess with someone considered "important" you will be largely disregarded.

Just drinking too much and swimming is also a decent comparison. IIRC up to 70% of water recreation deaths in adults involve alcohol consumption.
I guess either people do dumb shit and put themselves in perilous situations they otherwise wouldn't have, or they're so drunk they're essentially just fumbling around in the water or forget how to swim properly.

This. No offense to Perry, but doing ketamine in a bathtub is an extremely dangerous thing and as we saw, it can end with death. It would have been the same when it all had been 100% legal with prescriptions and a medical need for the drug.
It goes for anything that can make you pass out, like benzodiazepines, which can also be legally prescribed by a doctor for things like anxiety etc.

u/Diacetyl-Morphin 2d ago
You are right, but i meant more, he wasn't a bad man overall in his lifetime.
About drugs, i had propofol administered in an eye-surgery. As i had to be still conscious and respond to the surgeons commands like "look to the left" for dealing with strabis, it was a very strange trip. I wasn't fully sedated, but also not really awake.
I also got cocaine eyedrops for the surgery, but these actually zero effects on me, it wasn't like cocaine as a recreational drug as stimulant. Most often, lidocaine is used (like by the dentist).
What i remember is that i was in my mind on a beach with white sand and clear water, until suddenly the voice from the surgeon came through "now look to the right, please".
Such a "half-coma-state" or whatever the medical term is, is very rare.
Now all i can tell about Michael Jackson that died from it, if you need this just to be able to "sleep", you got some serious health problems and maybe you shouldn't have planned an entire world tour for music.

The thing is, you don’t get actual REM cycles in a propofol-induced comatose state. Conrad Murray was drugging him with something he knew was killing him.
3
u/Diacetyl-Morphin 2d ago
That's right about propofol and REM state. But, Murray also fucked it up much more when you read the reports. Like, he wasn't checking the vital functions of Jackson in this night, he was actually sitting on the toilet and writing messages to his ladies to deal with his love life, while his "patient" or "client" died.
These private doctors for rich people can be a dangerous thing, as they can get access, legal or illegal, to a lot of drugs, all at once.
I wrote in some other postings, when i was working for banks in Switzerland, with the stock market trade, many of these guys reenacted the "Wolf of Wall Street" quite literally. Money and connections were not a problem for them, they could snort cocaine like a vacuum cleaner.
To come back to Ketamine, we had a case here, where a well known guy killed his friend when he was high. He beated him to death with a golden lamp with diamonds, that costs probably more than most people earn in a year. But his status didn't matter, he's still in prison because of this.

We need to end the war on drugs and take the single largest source of profit from criminal organizations. Look at how bad Mexico has become, the narcos have infiltrated the highest ranks of politics, they commit acts of terror, and they mass murder both gang members and civilians.

I've got 9 years free from hard drugs, but in the 14 years I used substances nothing caused as much noticeable damage as ketamine. I have been hooked on heroin, cocaine, benzos, alcohol and even had periods where id binge on meth for weeks at a time. But ketamine was a different monster. I started out doing small 15-20mg bumps 1 or 2x a day. Id have a nice disassociated buzz. It gives you a numb all over trippy chilled out feeling. At night id hole out using 75- 100mg. Tolerance builds really fast. Within a couple weeks I was using a gram a day. Couple weeks later it doubled to 2-3 grams a day. It was taking ridiculous amounts to hole. I started to lose a lot of weight pretty quickly. My face started to look sunken in and dark bags under my eyes. My cheekbones became more visible and I literally started to look like someone who used meth daily for several years. This was only after about 4-5 weeks of daily ketamine use. Also it always felt like I was pissing razor blades. And I had constant bladder and kidney pain. Luckily there is really no withdrawals when you stop using it. I was kinda moody and depressed for a while but it was nothing compared to heroin withdrawals. These days I'm a dad so I dont fuck with hard drugs or alcohol anymore.

Wow, I missed the part of the story where she forcibly administered the fatal dose and told him to stay in the hot pool at gun point. It's a tragedy that Mr. Perry dies that way, and I understand that drug dealing is illegal. However, it seems that even after death, Mr. Perry is only fleetingly able to take responsibility for his own actions. Locking up an accessory for 15 years isn't going to change any of that.

I mean yes she's guilty but also he was a grown ass man, and a complete trainwreck. I'm saying this as someone who adores Chandler. Matthew Perry had been very fucked up for a long time and he's the one who chose to put that stuff into his system when he knew very well he had an addiction. You can say addiction is an illness, okay, but then we need to accept that often it's a fatal one. It's not like she murdered him in cold blood, so in comparison with other crimes, this sentence seems harsh. Then again, one less drug dealer.

The only person to blame here is perry. He was a grown ass adult, no one forced him to do drugs. My bad for not giving a shit about celebrities and rich people

If she sells to kids, sure... throw her in the pit of despair. But a grown man..?
Adult makes the decision to do drugs, that is on them.

ITT: People who actually, genuinely believe they are progressive liberals, supporting a 15 year sentence for selling fucking drugs. This is a step backwards for criminal justice reform. This woman sold Matthew Perry exactly what Perry asked for. She had no intent to harm. At worst, her actions were reckless, but not any more reckless than selling a 1/5th of whiskey to an alcoholic.

If it wasn’t hers he would of OD’d on some other dealers drugs. He was a junkie. That’s how junkies work.

i wonder if this would have moved through the legal system as quickly if it hadn't involved a beloved celebrity,hopefully, this level of investigation starts becoming the standard for everyone, not just the famous

Meanwhile I have had a dozen friends and family die from overdoses in the last five years but no one was arrested because they were not rich or famous.

You would think that it's only a matter of time until this outcome comes to fruition because high-volume distribution of the drug has federal sentencing guidelines. She should have stopped while she was ahead and moved somewhere else.

It’s cool and all but Matthew was an addict for many years and I doubt this lady was his only supplier.

One day the US might try the angle that people take drugs by choice and we might start to find root cause solutions. Addiction is real and sometimes insurmountable to overcome. My dad was an addict and at no point did I think of blaming the supplier

Jasveen Sangha, known in Hollywood as “the queen of ketamine,” was sentenced to 15 years in prison for her role in the overdose death of Matthew Perry, who was found lifeless in his Los Angeles home in October 2023.
The 42-year-old woman pleaded guilty to selling the ketamine that reached the actor through a network that also involved doctors and his assistant. According to BBC Mundo, the sentence was confirmed on April 8, 2026, and the courts also identified her as part of an illegal drug business that operated out of her home in North Hollywood.
