In recent years, cannabis resin extractions have gained prominence in the cannabis scene. From traditional hashish to innovations like BHO, live resin, and rosin, these products offer intense and varied experiences, prioritizing purity, potency, and flavor.
With increasing sophistication in both extraction methods and consumption devices, such as rigs, bubblers, and concentrate vaporizers, the world of dabs has won over veteran users and curious newcomers alike. Concentrate culture has become a movement, with its own language, rituals, and, of course, its own day on the calendar. Today we’ll tell you more about this important date on the cannabis calendar.
710 or July 10: The day of the concentrates
Although less well-known than the iconic 420, also known as World Marijuana Day, July 10, or 710, has become a key date for the cannabis community. The explanation is ingenious: flipping the number 710 over forms the word “OIL,” a direct reference to the oils and extracts that are the centerpieces of this celebration, such as BHO and Rosin. Thus, both July 10 (10/7) and 7:10 (whether AM or PM) have become symbols of this passion for dabbing concentrates, a date and time where the most fanatical fans pay tribute with a good dab (or several).
The origin of this holiday dates back to the underground cannabis scene in the United States, where concentrates began gaining popularity in the 2010s. Some attribute the term to internet forums and digital communities, where the 710 began to be used as a knowing nod among dabbing enthusiasts. Since then, July 10th has been celebrated as a day to celebrate excellence in extraction, the creativity of producers, and the evolution of consumption.
According to what we read on the internet, the first to use it was the rapper Taskrok, from the group Task and Linus, also known for creating an ode to BHO with their song “Boil the oil”, thus demonstrating his passion for resin extractions and definitively making the expression “710” fashionable to refer to this whole movement.
Activities, events, and special offers for the cannabis industry on July 10th
In the United States, 710 is celebrated in style with fairs, extraction competitions, gatherings between growers, tasters, and concentrate producers, and launches of limited-edition cannabis derivatives. Events like the 710 Degree Cup in Arizona or the Camp Sessions-themed festivals in Oregon are just a few examples of how this celebration gains followers year after year.
Brands and dispensaries also take advantage of the opportunity to offer discounts, combos, and new products like wax, shatter, crumble, and sauce. It’s an ideal opportunity to try new genetics, compare textures, flavors, and aromas, and discover the work of the best artisanal extractors. It’s also a great opportunity to discover the most anticipated new extraction techniques and consumption methods, with new dabbers, electric nails, bubblers, vaporizers, rosin accessories, and everything related to extracts and their consumption.
In Spain, although the celebration is more low-key, some cannabis associations and social clubs organize dabbing sessions, extraction competitions, and educational activities on concentrate safety and quality. Some online retailers also participate in special discounts on related products, such as Alchimia.
Concentrate strains: the new frontier of breeding
Not all cannabis strains perform equally well when it comes to making concentrates, either in terms of quality or quantity. Therefore, seed banks have begun developing genetics specifically geared toward maximizing resin and terpene production.
These extraction varieties, selected for their extremely high trichome density and unique aroma profiles, are ideal for obtaining high-quality extracts. Strains like Gorilla Glue, Sherbet, Tropicanna Cookies, and Banana Punch have become favorites for their performance in BHO, rosin, or live resin.
Don’t hesitate, choosing the right genetics can be the difference between a mediocre strain and one worthy of a competition. And in the 710 universe, that’s everything.
As you can see, July 10, or 710, is more than just a date: it’s a statement of intent from a community that values innovation, quality, and respect for cannabis in its most concentrated form.
Whether you’re a rosin fanatic, a live resin enthusiast, or a lover of classic hash, 710 is your day to celebrate, share, and, why not, explore new flavors. Do it wisely, with good friends, and with a lot of passion.
Although July 10th is usually dominated by the most potent concentrates —those THC bombs that leave even the most seasoned cannabis users staring into space—not everything is high in the realm of extracts. There’s also room for subtlety, balance…and cannabidiol.
CBD-rich extracts are having their moment in the sun. Rosin, hash, distilled oils, and full-spectrum oils made from high-CBD strains offer relaxing effects without uncontrolled euphoria. They’re ideal for those seeking a functional experience without compromising the ritual and aromatic intensity of a high-quality resin.
The best part: by eliminating large amounts of THC, these extractions allow you to enjoy the benefits of cannabis without compromising mental clarity. In other words: relief and relaxation, but without the trip. What more could you ask for?
Happy Dab Day!
