What Is Diamond-Frosted Infused Flower — and Why Does It Hit Different?
If you're searching for infused cannabis flower in New York, here's the direct answer: infused flower is premium cannabis bud coated or blended with a cannabis concentrate — like live resin, hash oil, or THCa diamonds — to dramatically elevate potency, flavor, and overall experience. Our Silly Nice Infused Flower (Papaya Wine) is a 3.5g small-batch product hitting 51.22% THC and 58.63% total cannabinoids, made with live resin and THCa diamonds, available at 150+ licensed NY adult-use dispensaries for $60. It's not hype — it's craft.
We launched Silly Nice in March 2024 as a Black-owned, Veteran-owned, LGBTQ+-owned, family-run cannabis brand based in Brooklyn, New York. Co-founders Shane Breen — a U.S. Army Veteran — and LeVar Thomas have been partners for over 25 years. Everything we make comes from a place of deep intention: we're not just selling cannabis, we're building a brand that New Yorkers from the Bronx to Bay Ridge, from Flatbush to Flushing, can genuinely be proud of. Diamond-frosted infused flower is one of the most exciting categories we've ever worked with, and this guide is for every adult 21+ who wants to understand it fully before they buy.
Diamond-Frosted & Live Resin Infused Flower
Standard cannabis flower — even top-shelf — typically lands somewhere between 20% and 30% THC. That's a solid, familiar experience. Infused flower takes that same quality bud and layers a concentrate directly onto it, which is why products like our Papaya Wine push past 51% THC total. The infusion process matters enormously. Cheap infused flower is made by dunking bud in distillate — a flavorless, low-terpene extract that spikes numbers without improving the experience. We use live resin and THCa diamonds because they preserve the full terpene profile and deliver something that actually tastes as good as it hits.

How We Make Our Infused Flower: Process, Integrity, and Craft
Our Papaya Wine Infused Flower starts with a carefully selected cannabis base — then it gets infused with live resin extracted from fresh-frozen plant material. Live resin captures the plant at its peak, locking in the terpene compounds that give cannabis its distinct aromas, flavors, and layered effects. After the live resin coating, we add THCa diamond powder — ultra-refined crystalline THCa that dissolves into the surface of the bud, creating that visible frost you can actually see when you open the jar. It's beautiful, and it's functional.
Every single batch is independently lab-tested. We post all Certificates of Analysis (COAs) directly on our website so you're never guessing about what's in the jar. That transparency is a non-negotiable for us. Shane's background as a U.S. Army Veteran shaped the discipline and standards we bring to everything — from production processes to how we communicate with our community. You can verify everything we claim at sillynice.com/menu.
Why Live Resin + THCa Diamonds Is the Gold Standard
Not all infusions are created equal. The combination of live resin and THCa diamonds gives you two things most infused flower products don't deliver simultaneously: maximum potency and maximum flavor. The live resin brings the terpene richness — the fruity, earthy, floral complexity that makes Papaya Wine taste exactly like its name suggests. The THCa diamonds bring the clean, crystalline potency that takes the experience to another level. Together, they create a product that's worthy of the $60 price point — and in our opinion, worth every dollar.

Understanding Potency: What 51.22% THC Actually Means for You
When you see 51.22% THC on the label of our Papaya Wine Infused Flower, that number represents the total delta-9 THC content measured across the entire infused product — flower plus concentrate combined. This is significantly higher than standard flower, and it demands respect, especially if you're newer to high-potency products. We always say: start low, go slow. Even seasoned cannabis consumers often find that infused flower delivers a longer-lasting and more intense experience than they expect.
The 58.63% total cannabinoids figure on Papaya Wine reflects more than just THC — it accounts for the full spectrum of cannabinoids present, including minor compounds that contribute to what many consumers describe as a richer, more complex effect. This is why we don't chase a single number in our formulations. We look at the whole profile. If you're curious about how our infused flower compares to our other concentrate products — like our Diamond Powder at 86.24% THC or our Frosted Hash Ball at 67.34% THC — the menu at sillynice.com has all the details side by side.
Diamond-Frosted & Live Resin Infused Flower
For adults 21+ who are experienced with standard flower but new to infused products, we recommend treating your first session with infused flower like a first date — be present, be patient, and don't overcommit. Pack a smaller bowl than you normally would. Give yourself at least 20–30 minutes before reassessing. Infused flower is not the time to be in a rush. Plan to be at home, comfortable, not driving or operating anything — just you, your couch, maybe a great playlist, and the full New York skyline doing its thing outside your window.

Where to Buy Infused Flower in New York: Finding Silly Nice Near You
We're proud to be in 150+ licensed adult-use dispensaries across New York State — from Manhattan to Montauk, from Harlem to Hempstead, from Crown Heights to the Capital District in Albany. When we launched in March 2024, getting onto licensed shelves across the state was a mission that felt personal. Every dispensary partnership is a handshake with the legal cannabis market that New Yorkers fought hard to build. We honor that by showing up consistently with products that earn their place on the shelf.
To find the dispensary closest to you carrying Papaya Wine Infused Flower, our full dispensary locator at sillynice.com/dispensaries is updated regularly. You can also ask your local budtender to carry us — consumer requests drive retailer decisions more than most people realize. If your neighborhood dispensary in Bushwick, Jackson Heights, or Staten Island doesn't have us yet, tell them you want Silly Nice. That word-of-mouth is how we grow, and growth is how we serve more of our community.
Why Buying Legal Matters — Especially for Black-Owned Brands
We'll say it plainly: buying from licensed dispensaries is how you support the legal cannabis economy that communities of color built — often at enormous personal cost during decades of criminalization. As a Black-owned, Veteran-owned brand, the legal market is the only market where we can exist, grow, and reinvest in our community. Every purchase of Silly Nice at a licensed dispensary is a direct vote for the kind of cannabis industry New York deserves: equitable, transparent, and community-rooted. That's not a marketing line — it's the reason we show up every day.

How Infused Flower Compares to Other Silly Nice Concentrates
One of the questions we hear most from our community is: should I buy the infused flower or just get a concentrate? It's a great question, and the honest answer is: it depends on how you like to consume. Our Infused Flower at $60 for 3.5g is perfect for consumers who love the ritual of smoking flower — grinding it, packing a bowl or rolling up — but want the elevated potency and flavor of a concentrate experience without switching their entire routine.
If you're a dabber or looking for the absolute ceiling of potency, our Diamond Powder at $50 for 1g hits 86.24% THC and 98.54% total cannabinoids — it's ultra-refined THCa crystalline that belongs in a rig or sprinkled into a bowl. Our Frosted Hash Ball at $50 for 1g delivers 67.34% THC with 5.7% terpenes in a handmade artisanal form that's genuinely unlike anything else on the legal NY market. And our Bubble Hash at $44 for 1g — solventless, ice-water extracted, 6.2% terpene content — is the choice for consumers who want clean, full-spectrum concentrate without any solvents in the process.
Diamond-Frosted & Live Resin Infused Flower
Some of our most loyal customers build what we call a Silly Nice session — starting with our 510 Vape (Pink Stardust, 1g, 81.96% THC, $40) for portability and discretion, then transitioning to Papaya Wine Infused Flower for a longer, more immersive experience at home. Our 2G All-In-One Vape (Alaskan Thunder Fuck, 2g, 82.46% THC, $80) is the move for extended sessions without needing to reload. All of our vape products use 100% cannabis-derived terpenes — no botanical additives, no synthetic flavoring. That consistency across our whole lineup is intentional.

How to Store Infused Flower to Protect Your Investment
At $60 for 3.5g, Papaya Wine Infused Flower is a premium product — and it deserves premium storage. Infused flower has more surface area covered in concentrate, which means it's more susceptible to moisture changes and temperature fluctuations than standard flower. Here's what we recommend: keep it sealed in the original packaging or an airtight glass container, stored in a cool, dark place — not your car, not next to a window, not in direct sunlight. A drawer or cabinet away from any heat source is ideal.
The terpenes in the live resin coating are volatile compounds — meaning they can degrade with heat and light exposure. Protecting those terpenes protects the flavor and the full-spectrum experience you paid for. Humidity packs designed for cannabis storage can help maintain the moisture level of the flower base without over-humidifying the concentrate layer. We put care into every gram we produce — storing it properly means that care carries all the way through to your experience.
Shelf Life and When to Use It
Properly stored, infused flower is best consumed within 6 months of purchase. THCa can slowly convert to THC and then degrade into CBN over time, which can shift the potency and effect profile. We batch our products in small runs specifically to ensure freshness — you're never getting something that's been sitting in a warehouse for a year. The batch date and COA are always accessible at sillynice.com/menu, so you can check exactly when your product was tested and certified.
The Silly Nice Promise: Quality You Can Verify, From a Brand You Can Trust
We built Silly Nice because New Yorkers deserve a cannabis brand that reflects the actual culture, values, and standards of this city. Every product we release — from the Diamond Powder to the Papaya Wine Infused Flower — is independently lab-tested, small-batch produced, and sustainably packaged. The COAs are public. The pricing is honest. The story is real. Shane and LeVar have been building things together for over 25 years, and this brand is the fullest expression of that partnership — one that exists to serve you and the communities that have always deserved better.
If you're ready to experience what diamond-frosted infused flower can be when it's made with this level of craft and accountability, Papaya Wine is waiting for you at a licensed dispensary near you. Check our menu for the full lab results, compare our lineup of concentrates and vapes, and find your nearest Silly Nice retailer. Adults 21+ only. No driving after use. Just real cannabis, made right, in New York.
