Introduction
You’ve heard of 420, but have you heard of 710? While 420 celebrates cannabis culture in general, 710 is a holiday dedicated to concentrate lovers — those who dab wax, oil, shatter, and other extracts. As July 10 (7/10) approaches, it’s the perfect time to learn the meaning behind the number and how to celebrate like a true dab connoisseur.
What Does 710 Mean?
710 is more than a number — when flipped upside down, it spells OIL, a popular slang term for cannabis concentrates. Early dab communities adopted the number online around 2010–2011, and by 2013 LA Weekly famously proclaimed “710 is the new 420,” cementing the date—July 10th—as a yearly concentrate fête.
Today, July 10 (7/10) is celebrated much like 4/20, but with a focus on high-potency oils, live resin, rosin, and other concentrate-based products.
The Rise of 710 Culture
-
2012: The inaugural 710 Cup in Denver put solvent‑based extracts on center stage.
-
2013–2015: Hashtags like #710 and #dabday explode on Instagram, Reddit, and TikTok, alongside live‑streamed dab sessions.
-
Late‑2010s: Dispensaries begin rolling out “Dab Day” flash sales; concentrate‑only booths appear at cannabis expos.
-
Today: As dabbing gear became more widely available, enthusiasts began organizing 710-themed seshes, parties, and even competitions like the 710 Cup. Brands, headshops, and influencers now fully embrace the holiday, releasing limited-edition products, flash sales, and exclusive giveaways to mark the occasion.
Where 420 was built around flower, 710 thrives on oil—a tech‑forward scene obsessed with terp profiles, extraction methods, and next‑gen hardware.
