something more discrete? Vapes are for you. In need of a product that is more user friendly with no prep time? Eat an edible or THC capsule. The list of 710-friendly products to celebrate goes on and on with live resin, live rosin, wax, distillate, hash, bubble, shatter, and more. Concentrates may seem intimidating if you are new to the concentrate party. Not only do you have to pick strains but there are also different concentrate products with similar names? Don’t worry at the end of this you will be a 710 pro. Let’s take a quick look at what concentrates consumers are selecting the most. According to BDSA, “Vape products account for 73% of all revenue generated from concentrates in the first quarter of 2022.” Vapes are a safe and popular option if you are looking to dabble in the wax category of concentrates as vape products are low maintenance, semi-odorless, portable, and statistically dominating the concentrate market. Vape products are available in a cartridge or pod that typically come in a ½ or full gram option. Cartridges screw onto a battery and pods typically engage magnetically with a specific paired device. As a consumer, responsibilities and prep time are low, with new pod refills or cartridges being the number one and only step to continuing your high. Also, making sure your battery is charged, but other than that, vapes are an efficient and fun way to celebrate this 710. If you’re already about the concentrate life, then you’ve already heard… but seriously, infused pre-rolls. Talk about a perfectly paired product that blends flower, and oil, and is already ready to smoke upon purchase. If you are a consumer that needs just a little more umph to your flower power, infused pre- rolls will satiate your senses. Every infused pre-roll clearly states the type of concentrate that it is infused with on the label, whether it’s distillate, hash, or resin, to name a few. Infused pre-rolls are definitely something to keep on your radar this 710. For the novice concentrate user, low-dose edibles and thc-capsules offer just the right amount when taking the extract plunge. These products consist of one, two, and five milligram THC doses, making the introduction to cannabis concentrates less intimidating and easier to manage potency. So, no matter where you are on the cannabis spectrum - a curious first-time shopper, a recreational user, patient, or veteran consumer, 710 concentrates offer something for every palate and that’s why we love it! In the span of one decade, 710 has even eclipsed 420, emerging as the cooler canna sister that everyone wants at the sesh. But beyond the party vibes, 710 is also a movement showcasing the diverse elements of the plant, the latest in cannabis science and innovation, and how far the industry has evolved. 710 GU I D E | 2022 NEW TIMES | JULY 7TH–JULY 13TH, 2022 11
