What is Oil Day?
Oil Day, celebrated on July 10th (7/10), is a special occasion for cannabis enthusiasts, especially those who enjoy cannabis oil products, dabs, and concentrates. The significance of 710 stems from its resemblance to the word "OIL" when flipped upside down. This day highlights the importance of cannabis oils and concentrates, emphasizing advancements in extraction techniques and the benefits of these potent products.
Why is 7/10 called Oil Day?
710, or 7/10, is considered a “stoner” holiday for consuming cannabis oil products, dabs, or concentrates. The term 710 rotated upside down spells OIL, a word used to describe highly potent cannabis products such as hash oil, shatter, wax, and so on. The day occurs on July 10th — 7/10, written numerically.
Do you know?
Australia has the unique opportunity to celebrate Oil Day twice a year due to its date format. Internationally, Oil Day is observed on July 10th (7/10) because the universal date format lists the month first followed by the day. However, in Australia, dates are written with the day first, followed by the month. This means that 7/10 translates to October 7th, allowing Australians to celebrate Oil Day both in July and again in October.

How can I extract Oil from Cannabis?
One of the most popular and accessible methods for extracting high-quality cannabis oils/wax is through the use of rosin presses. Rosin presses utilize heat and pressure to extract oil/wax from cannabis flowers or hash, resulting in a solvent-free, pure product that retains the plant's natural flavours and effects.
Why Use a Rosin Press to Extract Oils?
- Solvent-Free Extraction: Unlike other extraction methods, rosin pressing doesn’t require any solvents, ensuring a pure and clean product.
- High Potency: Rosin extracts are known for their high potency, making them ideal for both medicinal and recreational use.
- Flavor Preservation: The process preserves the terpenes and cannabinoids, maintaining the plant's original flavor profile.
By investing in a quality rosin press, you can enjoy the benefits of creating your own cannabis oils at home, ensuring purity and potency with every press.
