4Twenty Somewhere in Hewitt is breaking down the full story of one of cannabis culture’s most inside holidays, 710 Day, for the West Milford community. Here’s where it came from, what concentrates actually are, and how they compare for consumers who want to shop more confidently before July 10th.
Where 710 Came From: The Origin Story
The term “710” became associated with cannabis concentrates through a single visual observation: flip the number upside down, and it spells “OIL,” the informal shorthand for hash oil, wax, shatter, and cannabis extracts.
The documented origin traces to a TinyChat session in 2010 involving rapper TaskRok and early members of the cannabis concentrate community. This online gathering is among the earliest uses of the term in relation to cannabis oil. The first public appearance was on the cannabis forum TokeCity in July 2011, followed by entries on Urban Dictionary and early coverage by cannabis publications.
From those online origins, 710 spread through concentrate forums, hashtags, and community events as dabbing culture gained mainstream exposure between 2012 and 2016. High Times identified the early 2010s as a turning point for modern concentrate culture in the United States, and 710 developed alongside it.
A rough timeline of how 710 Day gained recognition:
2010: The term reportedly originates in a TinyChat concentrate community.
2011: First documented public references appear on cannabis forums.
2012: Dabbing culture reaches a broader audience; concentrates move from niche to emerging category.
2013: Cannabis media begins covering 710 as an emerging holiday; the inaugural 710 Cup in Denver gives the date greater visibility.
2014–2016: Dispensaries, extract brands, and cannabis events adopt 710-themed promotions consistently.
Late 2010s onward: 710 is widely recognized across legal markets as the concentrate community’s annual retail and cultural moment.
Live Resin vs. Rosin vs. Distillate: The Three Most Commonly Compared
- Live resin is solvent-based, from frozen plant material, preserving terpene-forward flavor. Made with chemical solvents, but starts from the freshest possible plant input.
- Rosin is solventless, no chemicals, the “clean” option. Made with heat and pressure. Often described as having a full-spectrum feel closest to the original plant.
- Distillate is the refined, neutral baseline. Very high cannabinoid concentration, minimal terpene complexity unless reintroduced. Most consistent, least expressive of the three. The most common oil in commercial vape products.
Which is “better” depends entirely on what you value: flavor complexity, extraction purity, consistent potency, or price point.
