710 Day is here, and the fairly new cannabis-themed holiday is replete with dispensaries sharing sales galore and a bevy of great products for those who prefer to vape or dab. As we've had the honor of sampling some great brands over the years, we're highlighting some of our favorite products for this year's 710 Day.
I haven't been writing about cannabis that long, but I have been using the beautiful plant for well over two decades. In my writing travels, I've been exposed to brands that are at the startup level to well-established producers in the cannabis space. 710 Day, which happens on July 10, has curious origins, but like most celebrations of this sort, the spirit of the holiday is truly what's most important.
In my research, it appears that 710 Day got its start around 2010 or 2011, although that is difficult to pin down. When flipped, the numerals "710" read "oil," which is how 710 Day is linked to hash oil, concentrates, vaping, and related methods that eschew the flower form of cannabis. I should also note that the holiday is also known as "Dab Day."
I also have a deeper history on the holiday in this 710 Day roundup I did last year, which credits Taskrok as its founder.
The innovation in the dabbing space was first brought to my attention by the late Rico "Phone Homie" Valderrama, one of the most notable proponents of high-powered cannabis I ever met. With Rico's guidance, I, ahem, dabbled with dabs until I found my level, although I still find the whole process daunting on a technical level, at least in the ways Phone Homie introduced early on.
The landscape for cannabis brands and accessories has expanded greatly over the years as people who want to graduate from flower or, like me, don't always want burnt plant matter to be in the mix, now have choices in how they administer their medicine.
Below, please find my favorite cannabis brands that produce products for the dabbers and vapers, and I'll point out any 710 sales when applicable.
As always, be safe with your consumption and have a happy 710 Day.
