How many low income overdoses get their drug dealers arrested?

[diamondlee]

great that theyre facing charges but if he were a regular joe NO ONE wouldve give it a second thought. its ONLY because he was a celebrity. AND he took the fatal dose on HIS OWN. still very tragic but…..

[estherbauer]

Why dont they go after regular people who overdose. I am so tired of these Hollywood people getting this coverage. They don’t need more special treatment than my brother/ sister/ aunt or uncle.

[hood_TheJoker]

aww yes let's blame others for our choices.. SMH

[KeeneBraden]

Not the persons fault Perry couldn’t handle his stuff. Leave the people alone. If he wasn’t a rich drug addict there would be no witch hunt to blame his OD on.

What???? How did a celebrity in LA get Ketamine thats craaaazzzy

[BobbyJames-fvtn]

I think the most important question that should be asked is why so much emphasis on this drug overdose death and not on every drug overdose death

[Dliu]

entitled folks will stay entitled, even after death

[OctPSfever]

Too much fame killed him. He seemed so unhappy and lost

[Chicago_jake]

Who’s going around arresting the dealers of the poor that die in the streets?

[leoveenman]

Matthew Perry was an adult.

Are you now going to a criminal investigation regarding each person killing himself with ketamine, or any other drug.

[timothyjames]

What a waste of time a regular person they would have just closed the case.

[robg.]

How tragic! Yet, no one would haven’t been indicted if the victim wasn’t famous. Sad but true!

[shwnshts]

IMPORTANT FACT: Matt's Step Dad is the dude from Dateline

[stant]

once a addict always a addict, blame no else, only in the news because he was famous.

[ericheine]

A college student with an organic synthesis book can make it. You can make it in the lab at the junior college. You can buy the book at the Stanford bookstore.

Meanwhile in South Kensington Philadelphia people aren't famous....

[barcelonachair]

Because of this addict it made ketamine nearly impossible for patients to obtain after his death. Health authorities cracked down because of the high profile. This medicine was used for a myriad of illnesses and now the stigma is attached once again.

Who uses K for depression?
