Tripleswitch Uses Fully-Legal Hemp-Derived THC
As THC beverages become increasingly popular, it’s essential to understand the differences between hemp-derived THC and marijuana-derived THC. Both are forms of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), but they come from different sources and have distinct legal and chemical characteristics. Knowing these differences can help consumers make informed choices about their cannabis products.
What is Hemp-Derived THC?
**Hemp-derived THC** comes from hemp, a variety of Cannabis sativa that is legally defined in the United States as containing less than 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight. Because of its low THC content, hemp is often used to produce a range of legal products, including THC beverages. These products typically include delta-8 or delta-10 THC, which are less potent forms of THC that can be derived from hemp through various extraction and conversion processes. The legality of hemp-derived THC products makes them accessible in many areas where marijuana remains restricted.
What is Marijuana-Derived THC?
On the other hand, **marijuana-derived THC** is extracted from marijuana plants, which contain significantly higher levels of delta-9 THC. Marijuana is known for its strong psychoactive effects, which result from its higher THC concentration. Products made from marijuana, including traditional cannabis flowers, oils, and edibles, often have more intense effects compared to those made from hemp-derived THC. The higher THC content in marijuana products contributes to the more pronounced euphoria and relaxation typically associated with cannabis use.
How is it Legal?
The legal status of hemp-derived THC versus marijuana-derived THC is also a significant difference. While hemp-derived THC products are legal under federal law, thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill, marijuana-derived THC remains subject to state-level regulations. In states where recreational or medical marijuana is legal, marijuana-derived THC products are available, but in places where marijuana is prohibited, hemp-derived THC products offer a legal alternative for consumers seeking the effects of THC.

The Gyst
While both hemp-derived THC and marijuana-derived THC offer the benefits of tetrahydrocannabinol, they differ in their source, potency, and legal status. Hemp-derived THC, found in THC beverages like Tripleswitch and other products, is derived from low-THC hemp plants and is widely accessible due to its legal status. In contrast, marijuana-derived THC comes from high-THC marijuana plants and is typically more potent, with legal restrictions varying by state. Understanding these differences can help consumers choose the right THC products for their needs and preferences.
