Triple Cannabis Beverages recently launched its latest product in its THC drink line of intoxicating hemp products called Triple High Lemonade after High Seltzers and Triple Drops.
Triple High Lemonade is a unique drink that has a slightly higher level of THC at 10 mg compared to Triple’s other beverages.
They are the latest intoxicating hemp THC drinks Heady NJ has been sent a case of to review.
It won’t be the last.
Like all THC drinks, they provide a great alternative to alcohol with its associated hangover and liver health problems.
Interestingly, we were sent them even though they’re not available in stores in Jersey, just online. The company reported that it would like to be in brick-and-mortar stores in Jersey soon.
Triple High Original THC Drinks
Triple High Lemonade comes in three flavors: Original, Raspberry, and Iced Tea.
Heady NJ was only sent the Original flavored ones to review.
They were very refreshing and enjoyable.
According to their press release, it “delivers cocktail-level buzz with 10 mg of fast-acting THC, real fruit juice, 90 calories, and bold flavor in every can.”
“This is Lemonade reimagined for how people socialize now. Our new cannabis-infused lemonade drinks are bold and flavorful,” Lambo Perkins, Triple Chief Marketing Officer, declared.
“We’ve continued to use the best flavor formulators in the industry to ensure ‘best tasting’ remains a Triple brand promise,” she argued.
According to them, it has an onset time of around 15 minutes when you can feel the effects. They also say it’s low in sugar and calories.
“It’s made for the moments that matter – tailgates, porch hangs, beach days, and everything in between,” they said in a press release. “…Bright, bold, and nostalgic. This is classic lemonade with a modern twist – made with real fruit juice and a touch of agave for balanced sweetness,” they said.
Many Triple High Hemp THC Drinks
Triple is hustling two other products in the emerging hemp drink space: Triple High Seltzer and The Triple Drop. They sell their seltzers in taller cans that only have 3 mg of THC. The Lemonade ones are shaped like soda cans with a little more THC. Both are 12 ounces.
Their seltzer THC drink flavors include Pineapple, Grapefruit, Lime, and Cherry Lemon.
Pineapple is the sweetest one. The grapefruit one is the most interesting. Lime is pretty good. The Cherry Lemon is a unique twist we are not familiar with as a popular combination.
The seltzers came in multi-flavor 12 packs, while the Original Lemonades came in a 4-pack.
The Triple Drops are very unique. They come in small packages of .5 ounces, like other alcoholic drinks, perhaps, but nothing in legal cannabis. You’re supposed to squeeze them into a glass to make a mixed drink it seems. It’s very sugary tasting, like a kid’s juice box. The package says it is 32.4 percent juice and lists several types of juice concentrates.
They only come in Cherry Lemon.
The Infused Weed Drink Business
Big Booze seems to be investing a lot in creating their own lines of hemp seltzers since people are drinking less alcohol.
These drinks are very popular among more casual consumers who are unlikely to identify themselves jokingly as stoners and potheads like the faithful of the cannabis community.
Interestingly, no hemp drink seltzer cans are available in the legal New Jersey cannabis market. Instead, a few companies have rolled out small cannabis drinks of 2 ounces. Most though are more like syrups that could be poured into a drink of iced seltzer and ice than a simple can.
Intoxicating Hemp Hustle Halting?
Though a loophole in the 2018 Farm Bill, intoxicating hemp was discovered to be a way to sell products that got people high. So, it might be more federally legal to send intoxicating hemp through the mail across state lines versus state-legal cannabis or underground legacy weed.
THC is the cannabinoid in both cannabis and hemp that gets you high. So, a lot of other hemp products on their labels insist they are made from THCA. However, TH cans are among those that say they have “hemp-derived Delta 9 THC.”
But now it seems many powers Members of the U.S. Congress have seen what happened and want to ban intoxicating hemp. While initially Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) seemed to save it, he says it’s a possibility again. However, former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is for the ban.
So several Democratic Senators sent a letter to U.S. Senate leaders to protect the hemp industry, including Cory Booker (D-NJ).
