If you're flying into New York City from Amman, Jordan and looking to buy legal cannabis near JFK or EWR, the answer is simple: head to any of the 150+ licensed adult-use dispensaries across NYC where Silly Nice is sold. We're a Brooklyn-based, Black-owned cannabis brand with lab-tested flower, vapes, hash, and concentrates available statewide. You must be 21+ to purchase.

What You Need to Know About Cannabis in New York

New York State legalized adult-use cannabis in 2021, and the legal retail market is fully operational. As a visitor arriving from Jordan, here's what matters most before you step into a dispensary.

You must be 21 years of age or older to purchase cannabis in New York. You will need a valid government-issued photo ID — your passport works perfectly. Purchases must be made in person at licensed adult-use dispensaries, and consumption is permitted in private spaces and designated areas, not in public, not in vehicles, and never in transit. Cannabis purchased legally in New York cannot be transported across state lines, internationally, or through any airport — not JFK, not EWR, not anywhere. We say this clearly because we want every traveler to enjoy their experience safely and legally while they are in New York.

New York's Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) oversees all licensed dispensaries. When you walk into a licensed shop and see Silly Nice on the shelf, you are buying a product that has been fully tested, properly licensed, and legally produced. There are no gray areas with us. Every product we make carries a Certificate of Analysis (COA) available at sillynice.com/menu so you can verify exactly what you're buying before you ever walk through the door.

Getting from AMM to John F. Kennedy International Airport and Into the City

Queen Alia International Airport in Amman serves direct and connecting routes to New York City, with most travelers landing at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in Queens or, on certain routes, Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) across the Hudson in New Jersey. Both airports are major international gateways that bring millions of visitors to the New York metro area each year.

From JFK, you can reach Manhattan and Brooklyn via the AirTrain to Jamaica Station and then the Long Island Rail Road or the subway. The ride into the heart of the city typically takes 45 minutes to over an hour depending on traffic and transit connections. From EWR, the NJ Transit train connects to Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan in roughly 30 to 45 minutes. Both airports put you well within reach of licensed cannabis dispensaries carrying Silly Nice products across all five boroughs and beyond.

Once you've cleared customs, collected your bags, and made it into the city, that's the moment to start exploring. Use our store locator at sillynice.com/dispensaries to find the nearest licensed retailer carrying Silly Nice. We're in dispensaries across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, and throughout New York State.

Silly Nice: The NYC Cannabis Brand Worth Seeking Out

We are Silly Nice. Founded in March 2024 by Shane Breen and LeVar Thomas — partners for over 25 years — we are a Brooklyn, New York cannabis brand built on integrity, craft, and community. Shane is a U.S. Army Veteran. We are Black-owned, Veteran-owned, LGBTQ+-owned, and family-run. Every product we release is small-batch, every batch is lab-tested, and every package is designed with sustainability in mind.

In less than two years since launch, Silly Nice has grown to more than 150 licensed adult-use dispensaries across New York State. That growth didn't happen by accident. It happened because we put quality first, every single time. We don't cut corners on testing. We don't inflate potency numbers. What you see on our label is exactly what's in the package — and the COAs on our website prove it.

For travelers coming to New York from Jordan, the Middle East, or anywhere in the world, we want you to experience what New York cannabis can truly be when it's done right. Forget the underground. Forget the unknowns. Come find us at a licensed shop and experience the real thing.

Our Products — What to Look for at the Dispensary Counter

We make a focused lineup of premium products. Here's what we'd point any traveler toward when they walk up to a dispensary counter carrying our brand.

Diamond Powder — 1g | 86.24% THC | 98.54% Total Cannabinoids | $50. If you want the most potent, lab-verified concentrate we produce, this is it. Diamond Powder is a crystalline THC-A concentrate that delivers an extraordinary cannabinoid profile. It's versatile — it can be dabbed, sprinkled over flower, or used in other consumption methods at home. Nearly 99% total cannabinoids in a single gram. Nothing in our lineup hits harder on paper, and nothing disappears faster from dispensary shelves.

Frosted Hash Ball — 1g | 67.34% THC | 78.34% Total Cannabinoids | 5.7% Terpenes | $50. This is the product that gets the most conversation when people see it for the first time. A hand-finished, terpene-rich hash ball with an unmistakable texture and an aromatic profile that speaks for itself. At 5.7% terpenes, the flavor is front and center. For anyone who has experience with traditional hashish — and travelers from Jordan may know this world well — our Frosted Hash Ball is a modern, lab-verified take on a timeless form.

Bubble Hash — 1g | 53.32% THC | 62.86% Total Cannabinoids | 6.2% Terpenes | $44. Our most terpene-forward hash product at 6.2%, Bubble Hash is made using ice-water extraction to preserve the full spectrum of the plant's character. It's approachable, flavorful, and an excellent entry point for anyone who values the whole-plant experience. At $44 for a gram, it's also one of the best values in our lineup.

2G All-In-One Vape — Alaskan Thunder Fuck | 2g | 82.46% THC | 84.06% Total Cannabinoids | $80. For travelers who want convenience without sacrificing potency, our 2G AIO is the answer. Alaskan Thunder Fuck is a legendary strain name, and we don't use it lightly. Two full grams in a single disposable all-in-one device at over 82% THC. It's ready to use, requires no charging setup, and delivers a consistent experience from first draw to last. If you're spending time in New York and want something you can rely on throughout your stay, this is the product we'd hand you.

510 Vape Cartridge — Pink Stardust | 1g | 81.96% THC | 88.36% Total Cannabinoids | $40. For those who already have a compatible 510-thread battery, Pink Stardust is our flagship cartridge. At nearly 82% THC and over 88% total cannabinoids in a single gram, it's both potent and precise. At $40 a gram, it's one of the strongest values in the licensed NYC market.

Infused Flower — Papaya Wine | 3.5g | 51.22% THC | 58.63% Total Cannabinoids | $60. If you prefer the ritual of flower, our Papaya Wine infused 3.5g is the move. Premium flower infused to reach over 51% THC with a total cannabinoid count exceeding 58%. The name says everything about the flavor profile — tropical, smooth, layered. For someone stepping into New York's cannabis scene for the first time, this is an experience worth starting with.

Frequently Asked Questions for Jordan Travelers

Can I bring cannabis back to Jordan or take it through JFK or EWR when I leave? Absolutely not, and we cannot stress this enough. Cannabis is federally illegal in the United States and illegal in Jordan. Transporting cannabis through any airport, across any border, or on any international flight is a serious federal crime regardless of where you purchased it or how legally you obtained it. Enjoy Silly Nice while you are in New York. Leave it in New York.

Is my Jordanian passport or international ID accepted at New York dispensaries? Yes. A valid foreign passport is accepted as government-issued photo ID at licensed New York dispensaries. As long as you are 21 or older and can present a valid passport showing your date of birth, you are welcome to make a legal purchase at any adult-use licensed retailer in the state.

Are the products safe? How do I know what I'm buying is legitimate? This is exactly the right question to ask. In New York's licensed market, every product sold at a legal adult-use dispensary must be tested by a state-approved laboratory. All Silly Nice products include Certificates of Analysis — detailed lab reports verifying every potency number on our labels. You can view all of our COAs at sillynice.com/menu before you ever step into a dispensary. If a product doesn't have verifiable lab testing, don't buy it. Ours always does.
