What is 710?

Almost everyone knows the significance of 4/20, but for concentrate enthusiasts, 7/10 (July 10th) has become a holiday all its own.

If you’ve ever turned the number 710 upside down, you’ll notice it spells “OIL” a nod to cannabis extracts like live resin, rosin, badder, diamonds, shatter, and other concentrates. What started as an inside joke among concentrate enthusiasts has grown into an internationally recognized day where consumers, brands, processors, and dispensaries celebrate the innovation, craftsmanship, and evolution of cannabis extraction.

But 710 has become about much more than simply taking a dab.

Why Concentrates Continue to Grow in Popularity

Over the past decade, cannabis concentrates have become one of the fastest-growing segments of the cannabis industry. While flower remains the foundation of cannabis culture, more consumers, especially medical patients, are seeking products that provide higher cannabinoid concentrations, cleaner consumption experiences, and greater consistency.

Modern extraction methods allow producers to preserve cannabinoids and aromatic terpenes while removing much of the unnecessary plant material. This gives consumers the ability to experience the full expression of a cultivar in a highly concentrated form.

Many patients also appreciate concentrates because they allow for:

• Smaller serving sizes with higher cannabinoid content
• Faster onset compared to many edible products
• Consistent dosing when used responsibly
• Rich terpene profiles that contribute to the overall cannabis experience

At the same time, today’s consumers are becoming increasingly educated. Rather than chasing the highest THC percentage alone, they’re asking better questions. How was this grown? Is it solventless? Were the terpenes preserved? Was the starting material clean?

As the industry matures, quality has become just as important as potency.

Recent research also shows that concentrates have become a significant part of the legal cannabis market, with products commonly ranging between 60–90% cannabinoids depending on the extraction method and formulation. Researchers continue to study both their therapeutic potential and best practices for responsible consumption as concentrate use expands.

The Future of Concentrates

The future of concentrates isn’t simply about creating stronger products, it’s about creating better products.

Consumers are increasingly seeking:

• Solventless rosin
• Live resin products rich in native terpenes
• Single-source and craft-produced extracts
• Transparent lab testing
• Sustainably grown cannabis inputs

As extraction technology continues to improve, concentrates are becoming more refined, more consistent, and more accessible than ever before. For many medical consumers, they represent an efficient way to access cannabinoids while using smaller amounts of product.

Education remains one of the most important pieces of this evolution. Understanding dosage, proper temperatures, terpene preservation, and responsible consumption helps consumers get the most out of every experience.
