What Is 710 Day? The Cannabis Holiday Celebrating Hash Culture
What Is 710 Day?
If you’re a hash head—whether you’re a concentrate snob or love all sticky-icky—July 10 might as well be your birthday.
Known as 710 Day, or National Dab Day, this cannabis holiday is about hash in all its forms: rosin, live resin, dry sift, oil…pretty much anything that leaves your rig tacky with terps.
Flip “710” upside down and you get “OIL,” a stoner code that became a cultural movement.
For shoppers, the 710 holiday means one thing: it’s time to re-up. Here at Catalyst, we’ve got you covered with fresh promotions, tasty vapes, fire THC concentrates, and 710 day deals you don’t want to sleep on.
What Is the Origin of 710 Day?
Unlike most holidays we celebrate without knowing why, 710 wasn’t born in a boardroom. Back in the early 2010s, hash heads started tagging “710” on Instagram as shorthand for dabs to evade censorship on the platform. Then came the seshes, the 710 drops and the insane rigs. The vibes followed.
Suddenly, July 10 was more than just a number. It became a countercultural celebration of extraction, innovation, and overall headiness.
710 Day evolved organically, now existing as a legit cannabis holiday only second to 420. However, while 420 tends to connote fat joints and THC gummies, this one’s all about the sauce.
Fun Ways to Make the Most of 710 Day
Dab-Bar Party
Run your Fourth of July back with a 710 HashBQ. Invite some friends over and fire up more than just the grill. Whether you’re hitting the Puffco or torching your way through a dab buffet, make sure to keep your jars cool and have refreshments on deck.
Be sure to pace yourself, because this kind of party can get out of hand in the weirdest ways imaginable. Set a relaxing playlist, and keep the vibes lowkey if anyone gets too stoned.
Try a New Penjamin
For our low maintenance friends on 710 Day, we implore you to explore the great wide world of THC carts. They’re portable, consistent, and hit hard as a mf. THC vapes are great for everyone from noobs to connoisseurs–albeit the lazy ones.
Terp Food or Drink Pairing
Terp pairings are all the rage right now, so why not incorporate one into your 710 holiday bash? Match a citrus-forward rosin with a fresh lemonade, or pair a creamy cake resin with some vanilla ice cream. Elevate your sesh AND your munchies.
Re-Up on Gear
If your banger is blackened or your torch clicks weird, now’s the time to upgrade. 710 Day deals like the ones we have going here at Catalyst include everything you need to light up in style.
Start Low and Go Slow
Dabbing at high temps kills flavor and can turn you into a couch zombie for the foreseeable future. Start low and go slow. If you’re new to the game, keep your heat around 450-500 °F. Sip your hit. No need to blast off all at once. Be Smart. Hydrate. Snack. Know your limits. Dabs are no joke—even for pros.
What’s the Difference Between the 710 holiday and 420?
While both holidays are about weed, there’s a stark cultural difference between the two, like how they’re celebrated in the community, and by whom.
420 celebrates cannabis in all forms. It has a wide-angle Cheech and Chong energy that feels nostalgic and appeals to everyone, creating an all-in ethos where cannabis penetrates the cultural mainstream for one day and one day only.
The 710 holiday is far headier, laser-focused on hash and concentrates in all forms. It’s mostly celebrated by the insular subculture of dabbers that orbit these sticky substances, some of which are worth their weight in gold, literally!
If 420 is a laid-back circle sesh in a public park, 710 Day is a curated terp party with a dab timer and a fridge full of niche beverages. One grew from a high school smoke code in the ’70s, the other from extract innovation in the 2010s. Same plant, different energy.

710 Day FAQs
Why is 710 the oil holiday?
Because “710” flipped upside-down spells “OIL.” You get it.
Who started 710 Day?
It came from the culture of hash makers, dabbers, and extract heads attempting to create a code to evade sensors on Instagram. Weed has always gone against community guidelines on social media apps. To this day, we’re still fighting the good fight by making up random ass code words that confuse censors, unfortunately.
How do people celebrate 710 Day?
Dabs. Deals. Vapes. More dabs. People throw seshes, stock up, or chill with their favorite jars and THC carts. Terps over everything. And remember, to get the most out of our 710 deals, come early.
Is 710 Day the same as 420?
Nope. 420 is a broad celebration of all cannabis products. 710 is for the hash heads. Also, 420 falls on April 20th. 710 is on July 10th.
Is 710 Day only for cannabis concentrates?
Technically, yeah. But THC carts, vapes, live resin edibles, and even infused pre-rolls count. Who are we to judge! It’s a dab day at its core, but follow your stoner heart and do what feels right. When it comes to the 710 holiday, there are no wrongs, only dabs you’ve yet to take.
