He now has a private dental anesthesia\u00a0practice in Vancouver, WA. He&#8217;s passionate about dental health and helping the public. He especially loves tackling topics that have been previously misunderstood. Blaine Chatterton is a pro-bono consultant to chronically ill clients and a chronic\u00a0pain patient himself, who uses\u00a0cannabis\u00a0to treat his condition.<\/p>\n<p>For the past 9 years, Blaine has been beset by chronic pain. He was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2003. The headaches lead to an addiction to prescription pain medication with little relief. After consulting with his doctors, Blaine began to use cannabis to address his chronic pain and has since become a consultant and expert on the use of cannabis for pain patients.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Carsten and Blaine discuss the research-based pros and cons of using cannabis for medical purposes. We&#8217;ll learn what the various methods of consumption are and which work best for certain medical conditions. The experts tackle a tough debate about how cannabis should be scheduled according to federal law. \u00a0They debunk widely-circulated myths with scientific research that examines\u00a0how cannabis products can best be\u00a0used to relieve chronic pain.<\/p>\n<p>Cannabis is not a miracle cure-all drug &#8211; there are health benefits and side-effects that potential consumers should consider. It&#8217;s important to find truthful information to learn if cannabis might be a good choice for you\u00a0while being aware of its\u00a0dangers.<\/p>\n<h3>What You&#8217;ll Learn From This Episode:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>How cannabis can be consumed to aid patients dealing with chronic pain issues.<\/li>\n<li>The positive and negative effects of using cannabis to address medical issues.<\/li>\n<li>The syndrome that can occur in\u00a0people who have been using cannabis for a very long time.<\/li>\n<li>A case study of an\u00a0eight-year-old child using cannabis to treat epileptic\u00a0seizures.<\/li>\n<li>How cannabis use can impact the dental health of patients.<\/li>\n<li>The difference between smoking the drug vs consuming cannabis in\u00a0other forms.<\/li>\n<li>The dangers of consuming cannabis in a\u00a0sugary, edible form.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Listen To The Full Interview:<\/h3>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_1161\"><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('audio');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-2856-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/practicingwiththemasters\/PWTM057.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/practicingwiththemasters\/PWTM057.mp3\">http:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/practicingwiththemasters\/PWTM057.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"http:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/practicingwiththemasters\/PWTM057.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/allisonwatts.com\/?powerpress_pinw=2856-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/practicingwiththemasters\/PWTM057.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"PWTM057.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Featured On The Show:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Connect with Dr. Dave Carsten: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pacificdentalanesthesia.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pacific Dental Anesthesia<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Ethan Ruso\u00a0of PhyTecs<\/li>\n<li>CBDFarmer.org, Promo Code: BC17<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Full Episode Transcript:<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/allisonwatts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/EP057-PWTMTranscript-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img width=\"311\" height=\"77\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-post-2856 wp-image-2277 size-full\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIzMTEiIGhlaWdodD0iNzciPjxyZWN0IHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiPjxhbmltYXRlIGF0dHJpYnV0ZU5hbWU9ImZpbGwiIHZhbHVlcz0icmdiYSgxNTMsMTUzLDE1MywwLjUpO3JnYmEoMTUzLDE1MywxNTMsMC4xKTtyZ2JhKDE1MywxNTMsMTUzLDAuNSkiIGR1cj0iMnMiIHJlcGVhdENvdW50PSJpbmRlZmluaXRlIiAvPjwvcmVjdD48L3N2Zz4=\" alt=\"Allison&#039;s-Button\" data-public-id=\"Allisons-Button\/Allisons-Button.jpg\" data-format=\"jpg\" data-transformations=\"f_auto,q_auto\" data-version=\"1587010383\" data-seo=\"1\" data-size=\"311 77\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/transformational-practices-llc\/images\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1587010383\/Allisons-Button\/Allisons-Button.jpg?_i=AA 311w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/transformational-practices-llc\/images\/w_300,h_74,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1587010383\/Allisons-Button\/Allisons-Button.jpg?_i=AA 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 311px) 100vw, 311px\" data-delivery=\"upload\" onload=\";window.CLDBind?CLDBind(this):null;\" data-cloudinary=\"lazy\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today on Practicing with the Masters,\u00a0we&#8217;ll explore the\u00a0controversial subject of medical marijuana with two expert guests. \u00a0Dr. Dave Carsten has been practicing dentistry for 24 years.
