If you’re someone who loves oils, extracts, concentrates, even dabs, you may want to mark down the calendar for 710, or July 10th. Why is this? well, it spells oil when you put this upside down, and it refers to the THC oils that are out there.
What it is
This is a term that first showed up back in 2010, and it was called 710 then in 2011, according to rapper Daniel De Salles.
This is basically from a guy who is an owner of an extracts company, and the man is the founder of the Secret Cup, which is a community meetup that involves dabbing, camping, and tons of music. It’s only judged by peers but there are international competitors, and some people get in there to vote for the top hash to make it the best that it can be.
Taskrok is a rapper who is known for inhaling the clouds made of vapor, and also rapping about it, and he created the Ti Nalls, which is basically a cannabis paraphernalia company that sells this.
Then, in 12011, this same rapper worked with Linus Stubbs a DJ, and they created an album titled The Movement, which talked about dabbing, and they changed the 420 meaning that most people know, to 710, and also said words like “boil that Oil.”
This later got shared and posted. Some also say that it started in TinyChat, which was a former chatting place that discussed 420. This was basically trying to figure out the right time to have dabs, and then, that’s when the 710 came about, as this is the upside world for oil. Taskrok didn’t try to say that he was the guy that owned it, but it’s instead a community movement.
While we still have 420, which is dedicated to the flower that you smoke, 710 does pay tribute to the oil market, which is actually growing, and it’s even more popular than the edibles that used to sweeten the cannabis world.
What Exactly are Dabs
Dabs are something that involve concentrates, which are extracted directly from the plant. They either involve a solvent, or they don’t involve solvents, which is called solvent free, versus solventless.
Cannabis flower is essentially the buds that you pack in the bowl. Dabs are done through a dab rig, a complicated process, usually involving heating this up, and then inhaling the vapors from this.
This is potent. In general, cannabis flower contains up to 25% THC within this, and you can feel these effects for up to 3 hours, on average.
Dabs, however, are almost 90% THC in them in some cases, the ones without the solvents usually are around 60% THC within them. but they work fast. You’ll usually feel them almost immediately, and they can feel very intense.
They usually peak around 45 minutes, but it causes an insane couch locking sensation, so it’s important that, if you’re new to cannabis, you might want to avoid these extracts.
This is good however, for some people who are interested in taking lots of THC at once. Those with medical conditions and the like can benefit from this, as there are tons of medical issues that cannabis oil can benefit from, and they can offer a variety of needs for you.
Dabs and dab oil are unique experiences. Sometimes a little too potent for people. With that said, always err on the side of being mindful of how much you’re taking. While dabs can be fun, they pack a punch, so keep that in mind when you’re trying to ensure the proper dabbing experience that you want to have.
