"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."
"Prices will be in line with those of other premium spirits at the United Center, or in the $15-$20 range. As for cannabis drinks expanding to sporting events and other arenas, Schepp said it was going to take a little bit more discussion with some of the sport leagues, because the NHL does not currently want THC products sold at their games, but added he was hopeful that stance will change in the near future."
THC-infused hemp-derived beverages will be offered at special events in the United Center, leveraging federal legality for hemp-derived cannabis products sold outside state recreational dispensaries. Infused drinks from Illinois brands Rythm and Senorita will be available at the Boyz II Men concert on February 4, priced comparably to premium spirits at about $15–$20. Rich Schepp of Green Thumb Industries said league restrictions, such as the NHL’s current ban on THC at games, could affect expansion to sports events, but he expressed hope for change. Venues show interest because patrons already use cannabis before events, shifting conversations toward safety and profitability.
