What is 710 Day? Oil Day? Dab Day?

Written By The Novel Tree

You’ve probably heard of 420, the iconic cannabis holiday celebrated worldwide every April 20th. But there’s another major celebration within cannabis culture that’s gaining traction each year—710 Day. And if you’re wondering what it is, or why it’s worth celebrating, let’s break it down.

What is 710 Day?

710 is the cannabis community’s way of celebrating concentrates—think dabs, oils, wax, shatter, and live resin. When flipped upside down, the number "710" looks like the word "OIL," a nod to the powerful and often golden extracts derived from the cannabis plant.

So, naturally, July 10th (7/10) has become the unofficial “Dab Day,” much like how April 20th became synonymous with smoking flower. But instead of rolling joints or packing bowls, on 710 Day, people dab.

Why Concentrates?

Cannabis concentrates have evolved rapidly, offering potent, flavorful, and innovative experiences. Whether you’re a fan of the terpene-rich live resin, smooth and clear distillate, or sticky rosin, there’s a dab for everyone.

Consumers turn to concentrates for:

  • High potency: A little goes a long way.

  • Fast onset: Effects are felt quickly.

  • Flavor: Advanced extraction preserves terpenes, giving dabs intense aroma and taste.

  • Purity: Many concentrates are free of plant matter and combustibles.

Tips for a Smooth 710 Experience

If you’re new to dabbing, here are some quick pointers:

  • Start low, go slow. Concentrates can be 60–90% THC. A small dab is plenty.

  • Use quality tools. A clean dab rig, electronic nail, or portable vaporizer makes a big difference.

  • Hydrate and rest. Dabbing is intense—have water nearby and a cozy spot to relax.

  • Ask your budtender. Not all dabs are the same. They can help match you with the right consistency, potency, and terpene profile.

Happy Dab Day!
