Everyone knows about 420; however, have you heard of 710, or aptly put…’Dab Day?”

What is 710 Day?

July 10, also known as International Dab Day; because 710 looks like OIL---when you turn it upside down.

 

Simply put, Oil Day recognizes the use of cannabis oils & extracts. Before U.S. States began legalizing & standardizing Cannabis, oil extraction was a difficult and sometimes dangerous process. By banning the use of hazardous and/or flammable solvents, wax, dabs, oils and extracts have become increasingly safe and popular for recreational and medicinal cannabis users. A niche holiday in the Cannabis Industry, 7/10 Day offers opportunities for discounts, sales, and special product offerings centered on Cannabis Oil Products.

 

What is Dabbing?

Dabbing is a form of cannabis consumption in which a small bit of Cannabis Concentrate (Oil, shatter, etc.) is placed onto a hot surfaced (typically metal, or ceramic), producing a cloud of cannabinoids. In other words, it's a safe way to get high in half the time.

Additionally, a dab is how people discuss a single serving of cannabis concentrates. Dabbing can be a reference to enjoying a vape pen or to vaporizing concentrates on the dab rig. There are all kinds of options when it comes time to prepare for your ideal dab session. Picking the equipment is one thing, and picking your favorite cannabis concentrates is even more exciting.

Dabs are popular because they offer much higher THC concentrations than what you can get from even the best cannabis in the world. Some of the best cannabis strains top out at about 30% THC, while many concentrates are more in the ballpark of 80% THC. If you really want to take things to the next level, you can even explore THCA Diamonds, which often provide more than 99% THC.

Dabbing itself didn’t even become common until the last 10 years or so, which means the rise of 710 must have happened fairly recently. It’s pretty much impossible to say who first realized that 710-- upside down looks like OIL; as people had likely realized that even before Cannabis Concentrates existed.

 

The Origins of 710

The Urban Dictionary started listing the term 710 in 2010, and by 2011, specific associations of the number with cannabis emerged. Rapper TaskRok told interviewers that he mentioned 710 to an online message group with other Cannabis Oil Enthusiasts. He included songs called, "Boil That Oil"; and "7:10", on an album he released on July 10, 2011. However, the Cannabis Holiday really took off when LA Weekly wrote a profile of the Holiday in 2013. 

What Does It Mean To Be 710 Friendly?

You’ve probably seen the phrase “420 friendly” before. This generally means that smoking cannabis is acceptable in a certain place, whether that be a hotel, a shared living space, or anywhere else. More recently, we’ve seen some places describe themselves as “710 Friendly,” which is a little bit different.

 

If a place is 710 friendly, that may mean that cannabis consumption is acceptable; but smoke isn’t. That is, doing dabs is totally fine, but lighting up an entire joint would be frowned upon. After all, dabbing is a great way to enjoy Cannabis without creating a lot of odor and second-hand smoke. Since there isn’t any combustion or smoke when dabbing, it doesn’t have a lot of the issues that have led to indoor smoking bans.

 

If a place is 710 Friendly, that might also mean that you should expect to see high levels of cannabis consumption. Most people don’t become especially interested in cannabis concentrates when they’re relatively new to the community. As dabs become even more popular, we expect the popularity of 710 to grow.

 

So, enjoy 710, and remember… a little Dab can benefit YOU!!!
