It's the first major U.S. arena to offer THC beverages
The hemp-derived THC drinks won't be sold at Bulls and Blackhawks games(NewsNation) — Chicago’s United Center will soon serve up a different kind of buzz to concertgoers: THC beverages.
The venue — home of the Bulls and Blackhawks — announced a multiyear deal Tuesday that will make it the first major U.S. arena to offer the hemp-derived drinks, according to a news release.
Through a partnership with THC-beverage company Rythm, guests 21 and older will be able to buy Señorita and Rythm-branded drinks at most concerts, shows and special events starting in February. They won’t be available at Bulls or Blackhawks games, however.
The initial lineup will include four 5mg hemp-derived THC options, including an “uplifting” sativa beverage and margarita mocktails designed for a “smooth, social lift.”
