Brooklyn has always had its ear to the ground on cannabis culture. Long before 710 Day had a presence on dispensary calendars, concentrate enthusiasts were building their own community around extracts, dab rigs, and the ritual of pressing or pulling something more complex than flower from the plant. That underground culture went mainstream. And if you’re in Brooklyn and curious about this cannabis category, Budega is the right place to get into it.
How 710 Became a Cannabis Holiday
The origin story for 710 is simple once you see it: flip the number upside down, and it spells OIL. The shorthand the concentrate community had been using for cannabis oil since the early days of dabbing.
By 2013, the term had gone from forum shorthand to a date that dispensaries started building events around. High Times also added a concentrates category to its Cannabis Cup, which brought even more mainstream attention to the format. It’s still more niche than 4/20, and that’s part of its appeal.
Live Resin, Rosin & Everything Between: What to Know Before You Shop
The cannabis concentrates in the Brooklyn category are wide. Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll encounter:
- Live resin is solvent-extracted from fresh-frozen plant material. The process preserves terpenes that normally break down during drying and curing, which is why live resin tends to have a more complex, true-to-plant flavor profile than other formats.
- Live rosin is solventless. No chemical solvents are used at any point. The result is clean and premium, which is reflected in the price point.
- Wax and badder are solvent-based extracts with softer, workable textures. They’re among the most accessible formats for first-time concentrate shoppers and still deliver strong terpene expression and potency.
- Oil cartridges are refined distillate loaded into a vape pen. The everyday format for a reason because they’re consistent, portable, and available at every price point on the shelf.
