What Is 710 Day? Vermont’s 2026 Guide to the Cannabis Concentrate Holiday
If you know 4/20, it's time to meet its more specialized sibling: 7/10, celebrated every July 10th. While 420 is the broad celebration of all things cannabis, 710 is the holiday that belongs to extract enthusiasts — the concentrate connoisseurs, the terpene chasers, and the dab aficionados of the world. And Vermont dispensaries have never had more concentrates to offer for celebrations!
Key Takeaways
710 is celebrated on July 10th and is the cannabis community's holiday dedicated to oils, concentrates, dabs, and extracts — the number "710" spells "OIL" when flipped upside down.
The holiday originated in online cannabis forums, gained mainstream recognition, and has grown into the second-largest cannabis holiday after 4/20.
Cannabis concentrates — including live resin, rosin, wax, shatter, and vape cartridges — are significantly more potent than flower and are prized for their intense terpene profiles and flavor.
Vermont cannabis consumers can celebrate 710 by visiting Vermont dispensaries for concentrate deals, new product drops, and expert recommendations around July 10th.
Sunset Lake Cannabis is releasing live hash rosin this July 2026.
Why July 10th? The Meaning Behind 710
The name is a clever visual trick. Flip the number 710 upside down and it spells OIL — a nod to the cannabis oils, waxes, shatters, and live hash rosins that define this holiday. This visual flip translation was first known to the automotive industry before finding a second life in cannabis culture. That simple numerical pun became the foundation of an entire holiday.
A Brief History of 710 Day
Around 2010–2011, the "710 = OIL" observation started spreading through online cannabis forums, and July 10th began taking shape as an informal occasion. The rapper Taskrok is often credited with coining the term, partly through his involvement with the Secret Cup, a traveling butane hash oil competition. By 2013, LA Weekly had declared "710 is the new 420," the first 710 Cup was held in Denver, and the holiday had gone mainstream. Brands leaned in, dispensaries started running July 10th deals, and 710 cemented its place as the second-biggest cannabis holiday after 4/20.
What Are Cannabis Concentrates?
710 is all about the concentrates — a broad category of cannabis products that includes:
Live resin – extracted with solvents from fresh-frozen flower to preserve terpenes and flavor
Live Rosin – a solventless concentrate made from fresh-frozen flower with heat and pressure. Look forward to high-quality examples like the upcoming Sunset Lake Cannabis live hash rosin release.
Wax and badder – soft, malleable extracts that are approachable for newcomers
Shatter – a translucent, glass-like concentrate
Distillate – a highly refined oil that forms the base of most vape cartridges
These products, often referred to as dabs, can contain up to 90% THC, making them significantly more potent than traditional cannabis flower. That potency also means a little goes a long way. One dab is equivalent to about the size of a grain of rice or a tic tac mint, and the effects of such a small amount are comparable to smoking an entire joint.
Beyond raw potency, concentrates are beloved for their flavor. In their concentrated form, terpene profiles become more vivid and complex — making each strain's character louder and more expressive than flower alone.
How Do People Celebrate 710?
Cannabis enthusiasts come together to share and enjoy a variety of concentrates, often using specialized equipment like dab rigs and vapes. Dispensaries and cannabis farms have also embraced 710, offering special promotions, discounts, and events to mark the occasion. Traditional celebrations often revolve around dabbing — using a dab rig to heat and inhale the concentrate. But vape cartridges and portable dab pens have made the holiday accessible to anyone, even if they don't own a full rig setup. The spirit of the day is really about quality over quantity: choosing something that smells incredible, trying a new extract, or introducing a friend to their first dab.

Oh, and yes — dabbing at exactly 7:10 am or 7:10 pm is very much encouraged!
