The Unconventional Hashish Holiday

 710: Dabbing into the Unknown - Exploring the Enigmatic Hashish Holiday!!!!!

Move over, 420! There's a new date on the cannabis calendar that's gaining momentum and sparking up excitement among marijuana enthusiasts. Say hello to "710," a lesser-known "holidank" where aficionados are encouraged to get their high on with cannabis wax, vaping, resins, or dabs. But what's the story behind this hashish holiday, and why is it suddenly making a buzz in the cannabis community?

First things first, let's unravel the mystery behind the name. Lauren Fontein, co-founder of The Artist Tree, a California-based cannabis retail chain, spilled the beans. In the cannabis culture, the number 710 is an inside joke. It's all about "OIL" when you invert the letters and turn them upside down. Clever, right? But the origins of this peculiar celebration remain as hazy as the mind of someone who just puffed on five vape pens at once.

Some claim that rapper and cannabis activist Taskrok coined the term in 2011 during a brainstorming session with friends, as they pondered the perfect day to indulge in cannabis dabs. However, Taskrok himself has chosen to stay in the shadows and not take credit for it. Regardless, industry insiders like Fontein predict a substantial surge in concentrate purchases come Sunday and Monday. Last year, sales skyrocketed to about 2.5 times higher than a typical weekend. That's a serious dabbing spree!

But not everyone is in the know about this "hashish holiday." Hazey Taughtme, editor of Black Cannabis Magazine, admits that even some industry folks are clueless about the upcoming 710 celebration. When asked about it, they give Taughtme a bewildered look, leaving him to explain that it's oil upside down and a day for consumers to open their wallets and splurge on cannabis. It seems the secret is still being passed around like a well-crafted joint at a discreet gathering.

While many brands are planning events and promotions for 710, some skeptics wonder if it will ever reach the iconic status of its flower-centric cousin, 420. Taughtme points out that the black community, in particular, still holds reservations due to the stigma associated with pipes and torches from the crack era. However, with the rise of digital options in the market, he hopes that attitudes will shift, and people will become more receptive to concentration. After all, they offer a healthier and purer way to consume cannabis.

Debates regarding the health effects of dabs versus joints continue to ignite discussions. Cannabis clinician Laura Lagano believes that dabs should be considered the lesser of two evils, but the jury is still out. As the smoke clears, it's evident that opinions differ, leaving enthusiasts pondering the best way to catch that euphoric buzz.

So, get your dab rigs ready, mark your calendars for July 10, and embrace the spirit of 710. Whether you're a seasoned concentrate connoisseur or a curious flower fanatic, this hashish holiday invites you to explore the world of cannabis wax, vaping, resins, and dabs. Just remember, as you join the festivities, the questions linger: Will 710 ever claim the same level of recognition as 420? Can the stigma surrounding concentrates be transformed into acceptance? And most importantly, are dabs truly the ultimate gateway to a blissful high?

One thing's for sure: the cannabis community is always up for blazing new trails, pushing boundaries, and inventing their own unique celebrations. So, on 710, let's raise our dab rigs and toast to the possibilities that lie ahead. Happy hashish holiday!
