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.

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.

Start Here →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.
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 TestimonyPain, 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 & SuicideSeeds 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.

The permanent work

The Right of the Harmless
A harmless person must be left alone. The doctrine supplies the moral line beneath the work.

The Free Library
History, medicine, law, prohibition, and institutional records remain available without a gate or required purchase.

Proof of Progress · Public Record
What was asked, who answered, who refused, what changed, and what the evidence proved.

Danger North of Richmond
The public argument connecting individual suffering to permanent administrative power.
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.
History · Lived record · Risk
Seeds of Vice: On Poppy Tea
The foundational volume follows poppy tea through history, personal witness, risk, and the circumstances that made the subject consequential.
Start here when the question is: “How did this subject become what it is?”

Proof of Progress: Mr. DEA’s Diversion
A history and critique of DEA Diversion Control and the administrative structure surrounding controlled medicine, medical regulation, and access.

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.
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.
