Public record · Policy maps · Lawful state action

Pain policy changes when people can see who controls it, and know exactly what to ask for.

Seeds of Vice is an independent institution for people in pain and the people who refuse to abandon them. We map public authority, preserve the evidence, and turn it into peaceful, lawful work that can be carried into every state.

Choose your state. Identify the authority. Make one exact request. Preserve the answer.

Founded and maintained by Kenneth Vice · Oklahoma Lobbyist #651113.
We do not provide medical advice or instructions for obtaining, preparing, or using controlled substances. The work here is education, public records, policy analysis, and lawful civic action.

Survivor record · Pain and suicide

When pain care changes and a person survives the crisis, that history belongs in the record.

Seeds of Vice preserves voluntary survivor testimony alongside the broader public record on chronic pain and suicide. Testimony is kept separate from conclusions about causation: dates, treatment changes, written records, institutional decisions, and surviving evidence determine what can responsibly be documented.

Survivor testimony

Preserve what happened.

For people who survived a suicide attempt or severe suicidal crisis in the setting of chronic pain and a material disruption in care.

Open Survivor Testimony
The broader record

Pain, suicide, and the missing number.

Read the existing Seeds of Vice record on what is counted, what is not, and the limits of what available evidence can prove.

Read Pain & Suicide

Seeds of Vice does not ask for method details or graphic material. Survivor testimony is preserved as testimony and evidence, not treated as proof of causation by itself.

Current phase: Pre-filing research, contract collection, public-record development, and standing analysis. No lawsuit or outcome is claimed. The campaign seeks to remove a compulsory private-contract gate while preserving informed consent, individualized medical judgment, documentation, and legitimate safety monitoring.

Current national phase · September 2026

One verified state. Fifty public destinations. Zero inflated claims.

Oklahoma is the verified baseline. The other 49 state destinations are public foundations while current-source verification and request preparation continue. Proof of Progress remains empty until a genuine inquiry, answer, refusal, correction, or measurable change can be preserved.

The State Atlas is being built state by state. Oklahoma is our reference page; the other 49 pages are research foundations. A page is not a completed review until its sources and findings have been checked.

Institutional standard

One state. One responsible authority. One answerable request.

  • Facts before accusation

The books · Long-form record

Three books. Three ways into the same record.

The website maps the evidence. The books slow it down. Each volume begins from a different question—lived history, the plant itself, or the federal system—and develops that subject at book length.

Vice Seeds · A Planned Seeds of Vice Enterprise

A real seed company built to feed the work.

Vice Seeds is the commercial seed company Seeds of Vice LLC intends to establish and own. Its planned catalog includes dependable vegetables, herbs, flowers, medicinal and useful plants, and a deliberately small collection of unusual ornamentals.

Known originIdentified supplier or production lots behind every sellable packet.
Documented qualityGermination claims supported by supplier records or dated in-house tests.
Honest labelsClear variety, quantity, lot, test information, and practical planting guidance.

Seeds of Vice does not take donations. Once Vice Seeds is formed and launched, ordinary purchases there will help fund the wider work. The two organizations will remain distinct in purpose, operations, banking, books, and records. Vice Seeds LLC has not yet been formed, and no seed products are available today.

Act lawfully. Document carefully. Create a record.

Do not threaten. Do not invent. Do not surrender. The point is not to manufacture the appearance of victory. The point is to make public power answerable, and to leave the next person a stronger position than the one we inherited.
