The 'Ketamine Queen', who allegedly sold Matthew Perry the drugs that killed him, was brazenly posting on social media about magic mushrooms as recently as last month, DailyMail.com can reveal.
Jasveen Sangha was first charged with drug offenses in March after her home was raided, uncovering a stash of thousands of pills, three pounds of meth, mushrooms, cocaine and dozens of vials of ketamine, prosecutors say.
But Sangha unabashedly continued to flaunt her alleged drug connections in social media posts in July, the DoJ claims.
'As recently as July 24, 2024, defendant posted a photo to social media wearing a bracelet with the word 'MUSHY' and several mushroom charms,' prosecutors wrote in a court filing on Thursday, asking for Sangha to stay locked up awaiting trial.
'Notably, defendant was arrested in March 2024 at the Sangha Stash Location with magic mushrooms.
'Ketamine Queen' Jasveen Sangha is responsible for supplying the ketamine which killed Matthew Perry in October 2023, prosecutors say
In their court filing on Thursday, prosecutors included a social media photo Sangha posted as recently as July of her flaunting a beaded bracelet with the word 'MUSHY' alongside mushroom charms, which they say flaunted her alleged drug connections
'And on the photo, defendant added text that reads: 'Pulling out the old raver candy,' and '#ravetothegrave,' suggesting that she cannot be stopped and will persist in her drug lifestyle until death – a callous choice of words, considering that her actions have sent two victims to theirs.'
The Justice Department officials were referring to Friends star Perry, who died from an injection of ketamine Sangha allegedly sold him, and another victim, Cody McLaury, 33, who died in 2019 from a ketamine overdose the day after Sangha allegedly sold him the tranquilizer drug.
Federal Magistrate Judge Alka Sagar sided with prosecutors, ordering Sangha to remain in jail until her trial in October.
The 41-year-old Los Angeles native, pleaded not guilty in court Thursday, after being charged with four others in an 18-count indictment.
Friends also told DailyMail.com that Sangha seemed unperturbed by her impending court case at her 41st birthday party earlier this month, where she gave no sign she was potentially facing a 10-year sentence or more.
Los Angeles realtor Greg Wasik told DailyMail.com that he was shocked to learn his friend of several years had been indicted for selling drugs that killed Perry, and that she seemed normal and serene when she celebrated with friends at a bar in Hollywood just days ago.
'I was at her birthday party just the other day and there was no inkling of anything like this going on in her life,' he said.

Jasveen wrote 'delete all our messages' to alleged co-conspirator Erik Fleming on October 28 – the day Perry died
'She was definitely just a pretty normal person I've known for years.'
Wasik said he met Sangha through dance music events they frequented, attended her birthday party this month as well as a more lavish 1970s-themed event for her 40th last year, where Sangha dressed in sequins, carried a pimp-style cane and posed next to a high-end Mercedes.
In their filing arguing for Sangha's detainment, prosecutors pointed out she has dual citizenship with the UK and posed a flight risk.
Los Angeles-based US Attorneys Ian Yanniello and Haoxiaohan Cai said Sangha 'engaged in a half-decade long drug business selling methamphetamine, ketamine, and other drugs to countless drug buyers'.
An affidavit from DEA Agent Tyler Abregosaid she was a 'large volume drug dealer', and that they recovered from her North Hollywood 'stash house' drugs including 'approximately 1,978 gross grams of orange pills that field tested positive for methamphetamine as well as other drugs.
The raid led to a charge of possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute filed on March 30.
Sangha was initially bailed out by her mother, Nilem Sangha, on a $100,000 bond.
Nilem Sangha declined to comment when approached by DailyMail.com at her home on Friday.
This week, Sangha's re-arrest and a further 10 felony charges were revealed, over her alleged sales of ketamine to Perry and attempts to cover up the crime when he died by deleting her texts.

Laying out some of the evidence they had against her, prosecutors told the judge in their Thursday filing that they found on Sangha's phone 'numerous threads with customers' on the encrypted messaging app Signal where she 'discussed selling drugs', and 'videos recording herself "cooking" liquid ketamine on a stove top to convert it to powder form.'
'She had Signal conversations with a ketamine buyer discussing shipping vials of ketamine, where defendant sent photos of the ketamine packaging and a photo of the shipping receipt, on March 18, the day before search warrant execution, promising the buyer, 'I think you'll like these but remember they're double strength',' Yanniello and Cai wrote.
Prosecutors said this had been a long-running drug operation.
'For at least five years prior to arrest, defendant used the Sangha Stash House as a place where she sells, packages, and manufactures drugs – since approximately June 2019,' they wrote.
'Although she also sold methamphetamine and other drugs like magic mushrooms, defendant's specialty was ketamine, which she routinely sold, holding herself out as a celebrity drug dealer with high quality goods.'
The filing also cast suspicion on Sangha's income sources.
Sangha is now charged with conspiracy to distribute ketamine, maintaining a drug-involved premises, possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, possession with intent to distribute ketamine, and five counts of distribution of ketamine. She faces life in prison
Sangha lives in an $3,000 a month apartment in luxury building in north Hollywood
'It is unclear how defendant is financing the property or her current lifestyle,' the DoJ officials said.
'Defendant rents the Sangha Stash House for thousands of dollars per month, but, as reported by pretrial services, defendant Sangha has been unemployed since 2019 (prior to which she claimed to have been self-employed as an 'artist and singer' who did 'art shows') and remains unemployed since her initial detention hearing.
'Defendant was driving a rented Range Rover at the time of the initial hearing, and she is now leasing a 2024 BMW.'
Sangha's friend Clancy Carter, an Orange County interior designer, told DailyMail.com that she understood her friend worked in marketing and event planning for the rich and famous, and had been to past Golden Globes and Oscars ceremonies with Carter.
'She knows a lot of people in the industry,' Carter, 49, said. 'Her and I have been to the Golden Globes and the Oscars. There's a lot of celebrities she was mingling with.
'She's always in the nicest designer clothes. She has a family that takes care of her,' the mother of three said. 'She has never been the type of person who needed money.'
