An Homage To Cannabis Oil."},"content":{"rendered":"\n

To all you lovers of cannabis oils, concentrates, extracts, waxes, and dabs, one of the newest marijuana holidays is coming up on 710 or July 10. If you take the numbers \u201c710\u201d and turn them upside-down, they spell \u201cOIL,\u201d which refers to THC oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article we will explain how the term originated, will discuss extracts and concentrates, how to consume them, as well as how the holiday is celebrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is 710 and it’s Origin?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The term first appeared in the Urban Dictionary in 2010. According to Daniel De Sailles, the rapper Taskrok coined \u201c710\u201d in 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De Sailles is the owner of Top Shelf Extracts and founder of the Secret Cup which was a 710 community event. It was a traveling road show which combined music, camping, and dabbing. It was the only peer judged international cannabis championship where the competitors voted for the best hash maker known as the Grand Champion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rapper known as Taskrok, hails from Salt Lake City. He likes to inhale vapor clouds, rap about inhaling vapor clouds, and enable people to inhale vapor clouds. For that very reason, Taskrok created Highly Educated Ti Nails, a company that sells high quality titanium dabbing paraphernalia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2011, Taskrok collaborated with DJ Linus Stubbs, releasing an album called \u201cThe Movement.\u201d It featured songs about dabbing and moving the time from 420 to 710 with names like \u201c7:10\u201d and \u201cBoil That Oil.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Taskrok, his story about the origins of 710 was first posted on Facebook back in 2012.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He and some friends were talking in TinyChat, an online chat platform, about finding a new time other than 420 to do dabs. It popped into Taskrok\u2019s head that 710 spelled OIL upside-down and it took off from there. Taskrok is a humble man who did not try to take credit for coining the term. He insisted he didn\u2019t want to own it, saying it belonged to the cannabis community moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While 420 commemorates cannabis flower (buds) 710 pays tribute to oils. The cannabis oil market is quickly becoming the largest growing segment of the cannabis industry. Its popularity far exceeds that of edibles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extracts vs Concentrates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Although the terms are often used interchangeably in the cannabis world, they are not the same. The main difference between extracts and concentrates has to do with how the compounds found in cannabis are collected. Simply put:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Extracts use solvents to extract the compounds, like THC<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Concentrates use mechanical or physical methods to remove compounds instead of solvents<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    How Extracts Are Produced<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    For those of you unfamiliar with how extracts are produced, here\u2019s an extremely simple explanation of a very complicated process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Cannabinoids, terpenes, and an assortment of other beneficial compounds are extracted from cannabis through a number of different extraction processes. The end result is an assortment of sticky, waxy, crumbly, powdery substances that can be vaped or dabbed. They are extremely concentrated and potent with a very rapid onset time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How Strong Are Dabs Compared To Flower?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Cannabis flower typically contains 15% to 25% THC and its psychotropic effects can last anywhere from 90 minutes to 3 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Dabs typically contain 70% to 90% THC. Their psychotropic effects kick in very fast, are very intense, and the effects usually peak anywhere between 30 to 45 minutes. New dab users have been known to become \u201ccouch locked\u201d when they first start using extracts, so take care!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    However, for medical cannabis patients who have a high tolerance for THC, dabbing is the perfect delivery method to provide immediate symptom relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Safety Precautions For New Extract Users<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Only use extracts from a reliable source<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Have someone you trust assist you<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Always sit down before you use extracts<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Start out with a very small amount and assess how you feel before using more\u200d<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
