Dodgers put closer Eric Gagne on DL
From: NewsTrove.com

"ANAHEIM, Calif. - Los Angeles Dodgers closer Eric Gagne was placed on the 15-day disabled list for the first time in his career Friday night because of a sprained right elbow. "It's real frustrating because we're this close to the season. It was just bad timing. I kind of feel like I let down the team," Gagne said after the Dodgers' 8-3 loss to the Angels. "I expected the worst on the MRI. I didn't think it was going to be that good, but today it was a lot better than we thought. I mean, I'm not happy about the results, but it could have been worse."

Recently California and Arizona have passed the laws that allowed the use of cannabis. That law protected the patience or caregivers for growing or possessing cannabis if they have doctor's recommendation. Doctors are protected for recommending cannabis as a medicine. Still other States think that it is illegal and dangerous that restrict many people from using it in order to prevent the feel of pain and spreading of different illnesses."

"Medical marijuana is now legal in 11 states, and bills to legalize it are pending in at least 7 more. The drug is also at the heart of a case being considered by the United States Supreme Court. Yet there remains much confusion over whether marijuana in fact has any significant medical effect. "People subjectively report benefits," said Dr. Joseph I. Sirven, an epilepsy specialist and associate professor of neurology at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine in Scottsdale, Ariz. "There's a whole Internet literature suggesting what a wonderful thing it is. But the reality is, we don't know."
