Flying to New York from Josep Tarradellas Barcelona–El

If you're flying into John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) from Barcelona and wondering where to find legal cannabis in New York City, the answer is simple: head to any of the 150+ licensed adult-use dispensaries carrying Silly Nice across New York State. We're a Brooklyn-based, Black-owned, Veteran-owned cannabis brand — and we make it easy to find premium legal weed, vapes, and hash the moment you're settled in the city.

New York State legalized adult-use cannabis in 2021 under the Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act (MRTA), and since then, a robust network of licensed dispensaries has opened across New York City and the broader state. As a traveler arriving from Spain, here's what matters most: cannabis is legal for adults 21 and older. You will need to present valid government-issued ID proving your age — your passport works perfectly. Purchase and consumption are permitted for adults, but cannabis must be consumed in approved private or designated spaces, not in public parks, streets, restaurants, or anywhere tobacco smoking is prohibited. You absolutely cannot carry cannabis through an airport, across international borders, or onto any aircraft. That means whatever you explore in NYC stays in NYC — which is exactly how it should be. Always purchase from a licensed dispensary displaying the official New York State Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) licensing information. Unlicensed sellers offer no consumer protections, no lab testing, and no accountability. We built Silly Nice to be the opposite of that — transparent, tested, and trusted.

Direct flights from Josep Tarradellas Barcelona–El Prat Airport (BCN) to JFK run regularly, with major carriers including Iberia, American Airlines, and others operating the roughly 8-to-9-hour transatlantic route. When you land at JFK in Queens, you have several options to reach Manhattan and Brooklyn — the AirTrain connecting to the A or E subway line, taxis, rideshares, or the Long Island Rail Road. Queens itself is home to several licensed dispensaries, and as you make your way into Manhattan, Brooklyn, or beyond, you'll find Silly Nice products waiting for you at licensed retailers throughout the five boroughs and across New York State. Use our store locator at sillynice.com/dispensaries to find the closest licensed shop to wherever you're staying. Whether your hotel is in Midtown, you're crashing in Williamsburg, or you're visiting friends in Harlem — we're nearby.

We are Silly Nice — co-founded by Shane Breen, a U.S. Army Veteran, and LeVar Thomas, partners for over 25 years. We launched in March 2024 as a Black-owned, Veteran-owned, LGBTQ+-owned, family-run cannabis brand rooted in Brooklyn, New York City. In less than a year, we grew into 150+ licensed adult-use dispensaries across New York State. That growth didn't happen by accident — it happened because we make products that actually deliver, with full lab transparency, small-batch production, and sustainable packaging. We built Silly Nice because we believed New York deserved a cannabis brand that reflected the real culture of this city: bold, honest, and uncompromising about quality. When you walk into a licensed dispensary and ask for Silly Nice, you're not just buying a product — you're supporting a mission. We are proof that independent, community-rooted cannabis brands can compete at the highest level in one of the most exciting legal markets in the world. For a traveler coming from Barcelona — a city with its own deep cannabis culture — we think you'll appreciate what we've built.

We make a focused, intentional lineup of small-batch products. Here's what to look for when you walk up to the counter:

Diamond Powder — 1 gram | 86.24% THC | 98.54% total cannabinoids | $50. This is our most powerful concentrate. Diamond Powder is ultra-refined, lab-verified, and built for experienced consumers who want precision and potency in every session. If you've explored cannabis concentrates in Spain's club scene, you already know what high-cannabinoid extracts can do — Diamond Powder is our answer to that conversation.

Frosted Hash Ball — 1 gram | 67.34% THC | 78.34% total cannabinoids | 5.7% terpenes | $50. Hash culture runs deep in Barcelona — the Frosted Hash Ball is our tribute to that tradition, reimagined through New York craft cannabis. With 5.7% terpenes and a beautifully rich profile, this is a product that will resonate with anyone who knows and loves real hash. It's handcrafted, small-batch, and unlike anything most New York dispensaries carry.

Bubble Hash — 1 gram | 53.32% THC | 62.86% total cannabinoids | 6.2% terpenes | $44. Our Bubble Hash leads the lineup in terpene content at 6.2%, delivering a full-spectrum experience that's aromatic, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. Made through ice-water extraction, this is solventless hash at its finest. If you appreciate the craft, you'll appreciate this.

510 Vape — Pink Stardust | 1 gram | 81.96% THC | 88.36% total cannabinoids | $40. Our 510-thread vape cartridge is clean, potent, and compatible with any standard 510 battery. Pink Stardust delivers a smooth, flavorful experience with 81.96% THC in a single gram. At $40, it's one of the most competitive price-to-potency ratios you'll find in any licensed New York dispensary.

2G All-In-One Vape — Alaskan Thunder Fuck | 2 grams | 82.46% THC | 84.06% total cannabinoids | $80. Our flagship all-in-one disposable vape comes loaded with 2 full grams and requires no extra hardware. Alaskan Thunder Fuck is a legendary strain name with a reputation to match — this is the vape for someone who wants everything in one device, no setup required.

Infused Flower — Papaya Wine | 3.5 grams | 51.22% THC | 58.63% total cannabinoids | $60. For those who prefer flower, our Papaya Wine infused offering brings 51.22% THC into a 3.5-gram eighth. Infused flower combines premium cannabis with concentrated extract for an elevated smoking experience that goes beyond what standard flower alone can deliver.

Can I bring cannabis purchased in NYC back to Spain or onto my return flight from JFK? No — absolutely not. Cannabis cannot be transported across international borders or carried onto any aircraft under any circumstances. Federal law governs airports and aviation in the United States regardless of state cannabis laws, and Spanish and EU law prohibits import. Any cannabis you purchase in New York must remain in New York. Do not attempt to travel with it.

Is my Spanish passport or EU ID enough to purchase cannabis at a New York dispensary? Yes. A valid passport is accepted as government-issued photo ID at any licensed New York adult-use cannabis dispensary. You must be 21 years of age or older to purchase. Your Spanish national ID card may also be accepted at some locations, but a passport is the safest and most universally recognized document to bring.

Is cannabis in Barcelona similar to what I'll find at a licensed NYC dispensary? Barcelona has a well-known cannabis social club culture, but those clubs operate in a legal gray area and products are typically unregulated and untested. What you'll find at a licensed New York dispensary is categorically different: every product sold must meet strict state testing standards for potency, pesticides, residual solvents, and microbials. At Silly Nice, we go further — publishing our full COAs online so you can verify exactly what you're buying before you ever walk through the door. NYC's legal market is transparent, accountable, and consumer-first in a way that most global cannabis scenes are not yet.

Welcome to New York. We're glad you made it.
