Do we have any active lawyers here? I have a real question about the federal laws and our wonderful government.

I got curious and decided to look this up:
Depraved Indifference Law & Legal Definition




To constitute depraved indifference, the defendant's conduct must be 'so wanton, so deficient in a moral sense of concern, so lacking in regard for the life or lives of others, and so blameworthy as to warrant the same criminal liability as that which the law imposes upon a person who intentionally causes a crime. Depraved indifference focuses on the risk created by the defendant’s conduct, not the injuries actually resulting.

Now isn't this the pattern of our government's actions when the matter of the denial of medical marijuana for terminal patients? Murder is murder. regardless who is at fault. Withholding an efficacious medication thereby causing a patients' death which could have been postponed or left to "natural causes" doesn't constitute murder? Haven't our congress and presidents conducted themselves in this manner since 1935, but more importantly since 1970?

Just an idea but isn't it worth consideration?
