- **Event Name**: Ketamine: The Promise & Peril Panel
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 15 Mar, 2026 at 01:00 pm – Sun, 15 Mar, 2026 at 03:30 pm
- **Event Description**: This panel will examine the multifaceted nature of ketamine, as an addictive substance, a tool for healing, and the grey areas in between.About this EventKetamine occupies a unique position in contemporary health spaces. Once known as an anesthetic and later as a drug of misuse and abuse, it has more recently emerged as a powerful therapeutic tool in psychiatry, pain medicine, and trauma care. Yet its rapid expansion into clinical, quasi-clinical, and wellness settings has also exposed significant medical, psychological, ethical, and societal risks.This event explores ketamine in its full clinical reality as a Medic*tion with genuine healing potential, as a substance with addictive and dissociative risks, and as an intervention that exists in a wide and often poorly defined grey zone between treatment and harm.Key discussion themes will include:The "Blurred Line" of Use: How the medicalization of ketamine has led some users to justify heavy recreational use as "therapeutic self-Medic*tion," often ignoring signs of addiction.Physical Risks: Specific physical dangers of frequent use, such as ketamine-induced cystitis (bladder damage).Prescriber Responsibility: The group plans to discuss the role of medical providers in inadvertently fostering dependencies through over-prescription or lack of follow-up.This panel includes clinicians Howard Kornfeld, MD, and Will Barone, PsyD, and will be moderated by psychedelic journalist Annie Oak.There will be a short tour of the Shulgin Farm following the panel discussion.________________________________Howard Kornfeld:  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/57638830-040e-11f1-888a-7935f87146a8-rimg-w493-h740-dc2e3546-gmir.jpg Howard Kornfeld, MD, is a Diplomate in Pain Medicine, recognized by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, and a Distinguished Fellow of the American Society of Addiction Medicine.
