Ask a Stoner ~ What is 710?
710 is the new number making waves in the cannabis scene. So, what’s the tea? Let’s break it down.
The Basics:
710, when you flip it upside down, spells "OIL." It’s a nod to cannabis concentrates like hash oil, shatter, and wax. This date started blowing up in the early 2010s. Its name likely came from the stoner subculture as a fun twist to the already legendary 420. While 420 celebrates all things cannabis, 710 is all about the rise of cannabis extracts and the art of dabbing.
Because concentrates are known to be highly potent compared to cannabis flower or other forms of cannabis, 7/10 can be generally considered a day for the connoisseurs of the game.
Ways to Get Your Dab On:
Dabbing: The go-to method. You’ll need a dab rig, which is like a bong but designed for concentrates. Heat the nail (part of the rig) with a torch until it’s red-hot, let it cool slightly, then apply a small amount of concentrate with a dab tool. Inhale the vapor and enjoy the ride!
Vape Pens: For a more portable option, vape pens are clutch. They come prefilled with cannabis oil or have cartridges you can swap out. Just hit the button, inhale, and you’re set.
E-Nails: These are electric nails that you attach to your dab rig. They let you control the temperature more precisely, making dabbing easier and more consistent.
Nectar Collectors: These handheld devices are perfect for on-the-go dabbing. Heat the tip, dip it directly into your concentrate, and inhale through the other end.
Fire Strain Recs:
When it comes to picking strains for your concentrates, here are some of my personal faves:
Girl Scout Cookies (GSC): This hybrid is all about those sweet and earthy vibes, giving you a strong, euphoric high that’s perfect for chilling with your crew.
Sour Diesel: A sativa-dominant strain, Sour Diesel is famous for its energizing and dreamy effects, making it perfect for daytime use.
OG Kush: This classic hybrid delivers a heavy, relaxing body high. It's ideal for unwinding and vibing after a long day.
There you have it, fam! Grab your rig, load up some fresh concentrates, and dive into the 710 vibes. Stay lit and keep exploring!
Until next time,
Your Stoner
