While 4/20 might get all the mainstream love, real cannabis enthusiasts know that Oil Day, celebrated every July 10th, is the ultimate holiday for concentrate lovers. Known as 710 (which spells “OIL” upside down), this day honors the world of cannabis extracts, from dabs and vape oils to live resin and shatter.
What Does 710 Mean?
The number 710 is to cannabis concentrates what 420 is to flower. Flip the digits and you’ll see it—OIL—a shorthand for the many forms of potent, extract-based cannabis products. What started as a low-key insider reference has turned into an annual event, with 710 sales, dab parties, and product drops taking over the community every July 10th.
What Are Cannabis Oils and Concentrates?
Cannabis oils, often referred to as concentrates, are extracted from the cannabis plant and refined into highly potent substances packed with THC, CBD, and terpenes. Popular forms include:
- Shatter
- Wax or Budder
- Live Resin
- Rosin
- THC Distillate
- Crumble
- Vape Cartridges (Carts)
These products are typically vaporized or “dabbed,” offering fast-acting effects and intense flavor compared to traditional flower.
Ways to Celebrate 710: Oil Day
Whether you’re a casual cart user or a full-blown dab connoisseur, here are a few ways to make the most of Oil Day:
1. Try a New Concentrate
Never dabbed before? 710 is the perfect day to experiment with dabbing or try a new extraction method like live rosin or terp sauce.
2. Shop 710 Deals
Many dispensaries and brands run 710 specials, with discounts on vape carts, dab rigs, and concentrate products.
3. Host a Dab Sesh
Celebrate with friends by sharing different oils, setting up a dab bar, or even doing a terpene tasting session.
4. Learn About Extracts
Oil Day is also a great time to educate yourself on cannabis extraction methods, solventless vs. solvent-based concentrates, and safe consumption practices.
5. Upgrade Your Gear
Invest in a new dab rig, hot-knife, or portable vaporizer to elevate your 710 experience.
The Culture of Concentrates
710 is more than just a day to get lit, it’s a celebration of the science, art, and community behind cannabis oils. From small-batch extract artists to lab-grade THC distillate producers, this holiday recognizes the innovation driving the concentrates industry forward.
So this July 10th, light your torch, heat your rig, or puff on your go-to cart, and celebrate the golden age of cannabis oils.
Happy Oil Day!
