The Perry case and ketamine: hypocrisy without a prescription

The death of Matthew Perry exposes a system where money buys access to lethal substances while society applauds addicted celebrities without offering them real support. The three-year sentence for his supplier is insufficient in the face of a lost life. Free detox programs and strict regulation of ketamine are urgently needed, putting life ahead of economic profit.

Blockchain to track the ketamine supply chain 🔗

Implementing a blockchain-based traceability system would allow recording every ketamine prescription from the laboratory to the patient. Each transaction would be sealed in an immutable ledger, impossible to alter. This would make diversion to illegal channels more difficult, as happened in the Perry case, where supposedly therapeutic doses ended up in the hands of a dealer. Additionally, a smart contract could automatically alert authorities if the same doctor prescribes anomalous doses to multiple patients in a short period. This is not about total surveillance, but about putting technology at the service of prevention.

Doctor Feelgood and his flat-rate three-year sentence 💉

It turns out that the doctor who supplied Perry with ketamine has received a three-year sentence. Almost the same time it takes some YouTubers to apologize for a scandal. The defense will argue that he only wanted to ease a star's pain. Right, like selling gum at the school gate, but with syringes and a six-figure salary. The sad thing is that, with that business, the doctor could have paid for a detox clinic for Perry and still had enough left over for a new car. But of course, ethics are not part of the pension plan.
