If you're wondering why it's called "OIL" day, all you have to do is turn the number 710 upside down on a phone or calculator to see that it closely resembles "OIL." If 420 is a day to celebrate the cannabis flower, then 710 is a day to celebrate cannabis concentrates, including wax, budder, shatter, sauce, rosin, resin, and diamonds. To consume these products, you'll need a dab rig, a dab pen, or a vaporizer that is concentrate-compatible. If you want to skip some of the setup and cleanup, you can also opt for a concentrate vape cart. As the name suggests, concentrates tend to have highly concentrated amounts of THCA, so dose accordingly.
While the origin of the 7/10 holiday is a bit hazy, it is believed to trace back to rapper TaskRok in 2011. He wanted to create a holiday for dabbers and proposed 7/10 as the date for "oil." You can see references in his 2011 album with Linus Stubbs, The Movement, on tracks like "Boil that Oil" and "7:10." In the years since, the date has gained popularity, and you can find organized events ranging from meetups to judged competitions.
