The United Center in Chicago is set to become the first arena in the United States to offer hemp-derived THC beverages, which will be available at most concerts and live events for attendees 21 and over. The line-up includes four 5-milligram THC drinks from Rythm and Señorita, featuring such flavors as Grapefruit Paloma, Lime Jalapeño Margarita and Mango Margarita. The beverages will not be sold during Chicago Bulls or Blackhawks games. But the launch does come amid evolving hemp regulations, marking a milestone moment for THC-infused drink makers in Illinois. The brands are celebrating the launch by offering non-infused samples at a couple of upcoming shows. The first is the New Edition Way Tour with New Edition, Boyz II Men and Toni Braxton on February 4. The second will be the Life Is a Highway Tour featuring Rascal Flatts, Lauren Alaina and Chris Lane two nights later.
