You may have seen stoners saying phrases like “710 friendly” and thought to yourself, “What does that mean?” For a while now, the number 710 has become synonymous with dabbing similar to how 420 has been considered the “weed number” for decades. Why 710? Well, if you flip the numbers upside down, it looks like it spells oil. As a result 710, or “oil day”, is celebrated nationwide by those who dab cannabis.
History of 710
Alas, the true origin of this holiday is shrouded in mystery. However, many stoners agree that the holiday officially spiked in popularity in the 2010s. Some speculate that it emerged in a TinyChat chat room back in 2010. We can’t say for sure, but we can note that 710 became more widespread online after outlets like High Times reported on it for the first time in 2013. Then, the first official 710 Cup took place that year in Denver, Colorado. So, we can roughly date the inception of this holiday to around the time of 2012-2013, but of course, there are sure to be stoners who have been celebrating well before this.

Types of Dabs to Celebrate 710
Nowadays, dabs go by a lot of different names. You’ve got shatter, wax, budder, crumble, sugar, sauce, rosin, live resin, cured resin…the list goes on. While there are all different kinds of cannabis extracts on the market, they can all really be broken down into two simple categories: solvent-based and solventless extracts. Solvent-based extracts are created when a cannabis plant is blasted with a solvent like butane, propane, ethanol, or CO2. Solventless extracts are created using only heat and pressure. Past this, the main differences lie in the texture and state of the cannabis flower prior to extraction. So, let’s take a dive into all the different extracts you can celebrate this 710 with.
Solvent-Based
Hash Oil
Badder, budder, BHO, crumble, shatter, diamonds and sauce, resin, wax…all of these extracts are simply hash oil in various physical forms. Hash oil is extracted from a plant most commonly through the use of solvents like butane, propane, or CO2.
Badder
Badder is cannabis extract with a whipped consistency that resembles cake batter, hence the name.
Budder
Budder is a light, airy extract and is probably what comes to mind when you hear the term “wax”.
BHO
BHO simply means “butane hash oil” and refers to cannabis concentrates that are extracted with butane.
Crumble
Crumble is exactly what it sounds like, a cannabis concentrate with a crumbly consistency. In addition to this, crumble is one of the driest forms of cannabis extract on the market.
Diamonds & Sauce
Diamonds and sauce are one of the most flavorful forms of extract on the market. The diamonds are pure THC crystals that live in the sauce, a high-terpene extract. This sauce lends most of the flavor to the extract, as it is packed full of flavorful terpenes.
Shatter
Shatter is a thin sheet of solid cannabis concentrate that is translucent and shatters like glass.
Terp Sugar
Terp sugar is a flavorful, terpene-rich extract with a granulated sugar-like consistency.
Cured Resin
Next up on the list are resins. These still vary in consistency, but the process they undergo before being extracted is an important step to note for these extracts. Cured resin is an extract that is made from cured flower. Before being cured, the cannabis flowers are trimmed and dried. After that, they are put into glass containers to cure for a few weeks in a humidity-controlled environment. Much like a fine wine or whiskey, the cannabis matures during this process, allowing it to develop flavor and potency. Once the flower is cured, it goes through the extraction process to become resin. Cured resin is a great choice to smoke this 710 if you’re looking for something affordable and flavorful.
Live Resin
In contrast, live resin is made from flower that’s been flash-frozen immediately after harvesting. This preserves the freshness and terpene profile of the cannabis. The freezing process helps protect the trichomes and deliver the full spectrum of cannabinoids and terpenes from the plant. After being flash-frozen, the cannabis goes through the extraction process to become live resin. Live resin is a great 710 smoke for anyone willing to spend a little more to get that flavorful full-spectrum experience.
Solvent-less
If you’re turned off by the idea of solvents being used in the extraction process, then you’ll want to consider a solvent-less extract this 710.
Rosin
The most popular form of solventless extract in today’s cannabis market is rosin. Unlike the aforementioned concentrates that rely on the use of solvents, rosin is made through the simple use of heat and pressure. Once the cannabis flower has been dried and cured, it is placed between two metal plates that are heated and then pressed together with several tons of force. The resin then begins to separate from the plant and gets squeezed out and collected on parchment paper. Rosin is a great choice to smoke this 710 if you’re looking for something that doesn’t use solvents at any point during the extraction process.
Hash Rosin
Lastly, hash rosin is made from ice water hash. To make hash rosin, cannabis flower is added to bags of ice water and agitated. This allows the trichomes to freeze and break off of the plant. These trichomes are then filtered through a series of screens to remove the plant matter to make ice water hash. This ice water hash is then pressed into hash rosin. This is considered the gold standard in terms of cannabis extracts and can have THC levels upwards of 90%. As a result, this is a great 710 smoking choice for anyone looking for the highest quality and most potent dab on the market.
