Critics are quick to point to examples like ketamine's role in deaths like that of Friends star Matthew Perry , who was injected with the drug supplied by medics 21 times in the week before he died.

Matthew Perry did not intend to die. What is clear, after reading the official documents from the criminal investigation which followed his death, is that he was, however, recklessly and habitually seeking narcotic oblivion when he eventually met his end. The day he died, October 28, 2023, was meant to be just like the four days which had preceded it - a day spent being injected with the 'dissociative' drug ketamine, which is FDA-approved for the induction and maintenance of general anaesthesia during surgery.
