The Ketamine StartUp Podcast
In this news roundup episode, we're covering four major developments that have emerged in recent months, all pointing toward increased accountability and oversight in the ketamine and psychedelic therapy space. This isn't our typical interview content - it's breaking news analysis that every provider in this community needs to understand. We start with the final chapter of the Matthew Perry case, where Jasveen Sangha, known as the "Ketamine Queen," received a 15-year federal prison sentence, while Dr. Salvador Plasencia was sentenced to 30 months for distributing ketamine outside proper medical supervision. Then we cover France becoming the first country to formally authorize IV racemic ketamine for adults in severe suicidal crisis, with rigorous hospital-based protocols that raise the bar for clinical standards globally. We continue with updates on Texas Medical Board's proposed ketamine regulations moving toward mandatory clinic registration and stricter oversight, followed by analysis of President Trump's executive order accelerating psychedelic research and creating new federal pathways for investigational compounds. We wrap up by connecting all four stories to show how legal consequences, international standards, state regulations, and federal policy are collectively signaling that oversight conversations are now happening at the highest levels of government and the field is entering a new era of accountability.
