How To Celebrate 710 Holiday

The most recognisable cannabis holiday, both amongst the cannabis community and among non-cannabis users, is 420, but there are actually other dates that honor cannabis as well. 710 is no longer a niche cannabis holiday, and here's everything you should know about it!

The Mystery Behind the Name 710

710 is a holiday that celebrates cannabis oil, concentrates, and extracts, occurring each 10th of July. This cannabis holiday got its iconic name from the number 710, because if you type this number into a calculator and flip it over, it reads as oil. This term spread amongst the cannabis community in the early 2010s as many cannabis friendly magazines started using it.

What are Cannabis Concentrates?

Cannabis extracts and concentrates are considered one of the most potent cannabis products. They can contain high levels of THC and CBD, as well as distinct terpene profiles offering highly flavorful options. They are made using solvent-based or solventless extraction methods that separate cannabinoids and terpenes from the plant material.

Solvent-based extractions use solvents such as propane or butane and can produce shatter, wax, crumble, budder, badder, live resin, distillate, and hash oil.
Solventless extractions use pressure, heat, and other mechanisms that don't involve chemical solvents, resulting in rosin, ice water hash, or bubble hash.

Different ways to consume cannabis concentrates

Apart from texture, consistency, potency, and taste, the method of consumption also distinguishes them. The most common ways to consume each type of concentrate include:

Dabbing (wax, shatter, budder, badder, diamonds, sauce, live resin, rosin)
Vaping (liquid live resin, distillate)
Topping (kief, crumble)

What tools go with cannabis extracts?

Since cannabis extracts, concentrates, and oils have distinct texture and consistency, you'll need specific cannabis tools that go along with them. The most common tools for these types of cannabis products include:

Dab tools (dab rigs, dab pens, dab mats)
Appropriate vaporizers or vape pens for concentrates

How Did the 710 Holiday Begin?

710 is an annual cannabis holiday occurring each year on July 10th. The holiday has multiple names, including 7/10, 710 holiday, Oil Day, or Dab Day. The High Times Magazine reported in 2013 that multiple popular news outlets began referring to 710 as a cannabis holiday. The 710 Cup was an event that solidified the holiday and technically started the tradition in 2013.
