United Center Becomes First Major US Arena to Sell THC Beverages

The United Center will sell 5 mg hemp-derived THC drinks to attendees 21+, excluding sports games, responding to rising consumer demand and alcohol alternatives.

  • Chicago's United Center is the first major U.S. arena to offer cannabis drinks for adults 21 and older at its concessions, serving as a test case for cannabis in mainstream venues.
  • The drinks will be available during concerts at the venue starting in early February, containing 5 milligrams of THC, a moderate dose similar to a glass of beer or wine.
  • While Congress passed a bill capping THC levels and effectively banning most hemp-derived THC products starting in November, it remains unclear how federal officials will enforce the new prohibitions.
