Age-of-caliphs-en-text

710 refers to a subculture within the cannabis community that focuses on the consumption of cannabis concentrates and oils. The term "710" is used because when the numbers are inverted, they resemble the word "OIL," which is a common term used to describe cannabis concentrates. This subculture celebrates July 10th (7/10) as a day to enjoy and appreciate cannabis oils and concentrates, similar to how April 20th (4/20) is celebrated by the broader cannabis community.

Origins

The exact origins of 710 as a term and a subculture are somewhat obscure, but it is believed to have emerged in the early 2010s among cannabis enthusiasts who were exploring more potent and different forms of cannabis consumption beyond traditional smoking of dried flowers. The rise of 710 coincides with advancements in extraction technologies that made it easier and more efficient to produce high-quality cannabis concentrates.

Cannabis Concentrates

Cannabis concentrates, also known as dabs, wax, shatter, and oil, among other names, are products that have been extracted from the cannabis plant to contain a higher concentration of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and other cannabinoids compared to the plant's dried flowers. These concentrates are typically consumed using a process known as "dabbing," which involves vaporizing the concentrate on a hot surface and inhaling the vapor. This method of consumption is known for delivering a more potent and immediate effect.

710 Culture

The 710 culture celebrates the use of cannabis concentrates and the various methods of consumption, including dab rigs, vape pens, and edibles infused with cannabis oil. It also emphasizes the art and science behind the extraction processes, with a focus on purity, potency, and flavor profiles of the concentrates. The community around 710 often shares knowledge on extraction techniques, equipment, and safety practices, fostering a sense of camaraderie and innovation.

710 Day

July 10th, recognized within the community as 710 Day, is a day of celebration where enthusiasts gather to share and enjoy cannabis concentrates. Events, competitions, and social gatherings are organized, with participants showcasing their extraction skills, sharing their products, and educating others about the benefits and precautions of concentrate consumption.

Safety and Legality

As with all forms of cannabis consumption, the legality of cannabis concentrates varies by jurisdiction. In places where cannabis is legal for medical or recreational use, there are often specific regulations governing the production, sale, and consumption of concentrates. Safety is a significant concern within the 710 community, with emphasis placed on responsible consumption and the dangers of amateur extraction methods, which can be hazardous due to the use of solvents.

Conclusion

The 710 subculture represents a specialized niche within the broader cannabis community, with a focus on the appreciation and consumption of cannabis concentrates. As the legal landscape around cannabis continues to evolve, the popularity and acceptance of concentrates and the 710 culture are likely to grow, further diversifying the ways in which people enjoy and celebrate cannabis.
