In recent years, cannabis resin extractions have gained prominence in the cannabis scene. From traditional hash to innovations such as BHO, live resin or Rosin, these products offer intense and varied experiences, where purity, potency and flavor are prioritized.
With increasing sophistication in both extraction methods and consumption devices such as rigs, bubblers or concentrate vaporizers, the world of "dabs" has won over veteran users and new curious users alike. The concentrate culture has become a movement in itself, with its own language, rituals and, of course, its designated day on the calendar. Today we tell you more about this important date on the cannabis calendar.
710 or July 10: Concentrates Day
Although less known than the iconic 420, also known as World Marijuana Day, 710 or July 10 has become a key date for the cannabis community. The explanation is ingenious: by flipping the number 710, the word "OIL" is formed, a direct reference to the oils and extracts that are the protagonists of this celebration, such as BHO or Rosin. Thus, both July 10 (7/10) and 7:10 (either a.m. or p.m.) have become symbols of this passion for concentrate dabs, being a date and times when the most enthusiastic pay homage 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 to gain popularity in the 2010s. Some attribute the term to internet forums and digital communities, where 710 began to be used as a knowing wink among dabbing lovers. Since then, July 10 has been celebrated as a day to recognize excellence in extraction, the creativity of producers and the evolution of consumption.
According to what is 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 their passion for resin extractions and definitely popularizing the expression "710" to refer to this whole movement.
CBD extractions: potency without paranoia, liquid gold for well-being
Although July 10 is usually dominated by the prominence of the most potent concentrates —those THC bombs that leave even the most seasoned staring into space— not everything is about getting high in the realm of extractions. There is also room for subtlety, balance… and cannabidiol.
CBD-rich extractions are having their moment of glory. Rosin, hash, distilled oils or full spectrum made from varieties with high CBD content offer relaxing effects without uncontrolled euphoria. Ideal for those looking for a functional experience, but without sacrificing the ritual and aromatic intensity of a good resin.
The best part: by doing without 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!
