You’ve probably heard of 420, but have you heard of 710?
If you love concentrates, dabs, wax, shatter, or live resin, then July 10 (7/10) is your day. Known as the “Dab Holiday,” 710 is all about
celebrating the world of cannabis extracts — and it’s become one of the most exciting days on the stoner calendar. But where did 710 come from, and why is it so important in cannabis culture today? Let’s take a trip back and explore the history of 710, and why it deserves just as much love as its older cousin, 420.
What Does 710 Mean?
Simple answer: 710 upside-down spells “OIL” — a nod to cannabis concentrates. Much like how “420” became code for smoking flower, 710 quickly became the symbol for the oil side of cannabis — concentrates, dabs, and all the potent, terpene-rich goodness that comes with them. If you’re into:
- Live resin
- Rosin
- Shatter
- Wax
- Crumble
- Distillate
… then 710 is your holiday.
The Origins of 710
Compared to 420, 710 is a newer cannabis holiday, emerging sometime between 2010–2012 as dabbing became more popular and accessible. While there’s no single founder or exact origin, 710 was first used in online cannabis forums, and quickly picked up by the dab community. Artists, influencers, and extract companies began referencing it, and soon enough, July 10th became the official celebration of all things oil.
💡 Fun Fact: One of the earliest public mentions of 710 as a cannabis holiday was in a 2012 issue of LA Weekly, which helped spread it to the mainstream.
Why 710 Matters
710 isn’t just a clever number flip — it represents a whole subculture within cannabis, one focused on:
- High potency
- Terpene-rich flavor
- Precision dosing
- Innovative tech (hello, dab rigs and e-nails)
It’s also a way for concentrate connoisseurs to connect, celebrate, and share knowledge in a space that used to be dominated by flower-only culture. As cannabis continues to evolve, extracts have become a major player, and 710 is the perfect moment to appreciate that growth.
