Chicago’s United Center to offer cannabis drinks – could other arenas follow?

Drinks to be sold at concerts under federal legislation but attenders may have to wait to imbibe at sporting events

THC-infused beverages will now be available at special events in the United Center, the home of the Chicago Bulls and the Chicago Blackhawks, which some experts suggest may pave the way for other arenas to do the same.

These drinks can be sold outside of state-legal recreational dispensaries because they are part of the hemp-derived cannabis market that is currently legal on the federal level.
