What does 7/10 and marijuana mean?

Hey 7/10 is coming up. Any ideas on how to celebrate?

—The Tin Man

Woo-hoo! It’s 7/10! For those that don’t know, 710 is like 420 for dabheads (dabbers? Oilyboids? Errl Flynns?). Dabs are hits of hash oil, as in: A little dab’ll do ya.

Why 710? Because “OIL” upside down and backward is “710,” duh.

I say we should also have a party on 11/30 (4/20 plus 7/10) and do dabs and doobs at the same time. Party on.

But yeah, it just so happens that I know of a hella cool shindig happening in San Francisco on 7/10. The good people at S.F. Safe Access are holding an event called S.F.’s Best Concentrate on Thursday, July 10, at 5 p.m. at Lounge 847, located at 847 Howard Street. Participants will be able to sample some of the best concentrates in the Bay Area. Plus food and drinks and stuff. All of the proceeds will go to benefit S.F. Safe Access, the oldest and one of the most active chapters of Americans for Safe Access. Contact SFsbestconcentrate710@gmail.com for more information. Go show your support and remember to dab responsibly.

I just got back from San Antonio, Texas, and I can say without a doubt that the marijuana in San Antone is much better than the weed in Austin. You would think that super-hipster college town Austin would have better grass, but it’s not the case. I smoked an OG Kush and a Blue Dream in San Antonio that were both out of sight. The last time I was in Austin, some guy sold me a dub of a nice green strain. He said it was Headband, but it tasted more like a high grade from the late ’80s: green weed with a hint of Mexico in the aftertaste.

Also, San Antonio has decriminalized possession of anything less than an ounce as long as it’s in one package, because if you have 28 1-gram bags of pot in your pocket, they have a pretty good case for intent to sell.

Then I was in Los Angeles to shoot an episode of Getting Doug With High, and I got a Purple Kush from the Pura Vida dispensary and some Strawberry Cough from the California Patients Alliance. Both were superb. The Purple Kush looked almost like a purple Peak 19 (one of my ATF strains, but hard to find), with lightly lavender nugs and a supersmooth smoke. The Strawberry Cough was all fruit flavor and thick smoke, with a very pleasant, although somewhat short-lived high.

Currently, I am in Richland, Washington, smoking Royal Kush and a local strain called Longfitt Heroes #3. It is a mix of Trainwreck, some sort of kush and other stuff that I probably should have written down, but, hey, I was high. It’s hella good, though. Gotta love meeting new people and trying new strains.
