You can find our products at licensed shops in Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and beyond. You must be 21 or older to purchase.

What You Need to Know About Cannabis in New York

New York State legalized adult-use cannabis in 2021, and the licensed retail market has grown rapidly since. As a traveler arriving from Saint Kitts and Nevis, here's what you need to understand before you visit a dispensary: cannabis is legal for adults 21 and older in New York. You'll need a valid government-issued ID to verify your age at the point of sale. Purchases must be made at a licensed adult-use dispensary — not from unlicensed street vendors or gray-market shops. Licensed dispensaries are regulated by the New York Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) and carry only lab-tested, compliant products.

Public consumption laws also apply. While it is legal to possess and consume cannabis as an adult in New York, consumption is not permitted in vehicles, in federally regulated spaces, or in areas where smoking is otherwise prohibited. Always consume responsibly, and never in transit or in airports. Once you're settled in the city and of legal age, visiting a licensed dispensary is the only way to purchase cannabis legally and safely in New York.

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

Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport (SKB) in Basseterre, Saint Kitts and Nevis serves as the main international gateway for the twin-island nation, with connecting and direct flights feeding into major U.S. hubs including JFK. Once your flight lands at John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens, New York, you have several options for getting into the city. The AirTrain connects JFK to the subway system, specifically the A train and the E train via Jamaica Station, giving you affordable access to Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan within 45 to 60 minutes depending on your destination.

If you prefer a faster or more direct route, taxis, rideshares, and car services are available at all terminals. Once you've arrived, checked in, and settled — and if you are 21 or older — licensed dispensaries carrying Silly Nice products are accessible across all five boroughs. Queens alone has several licensed shops, making our brand reachable almost immediately after landing. Visit sillynice.com/dispensaries to find the nearest licensed retailer before or after you arrive.

Frequently Asked Questions for Saint Kitts and Nevis Travelers

Can I travel with cannabis from New York back to Saint Kitts and Nevis? No. Under no circumstances should cannabis be transported across international borders, including from the United States to Saint Kitts and Nevis. Cannabis remains federally illegal in the United States, and transporting it across any international border — including on flights departing from JFK — is a federal criminal offense. All cannabis purchases in New York must be consumed legally within the state. Do not attempt to bring cannabis through any airport or aboard any international flight.

Is cannabis legal in New York for international visitors? Yes, if you are 21 years of age or older and present a valid government-issued photo ID at the time of purchase, you may legally purchase and consume cannabis at licensed adult-use dispensaries in New York State, regardless of your country of origin. The New York adult-use cannabis program does not restrict purchases based on residency or nationality — only age.

How do I know I'm buying from a licensed dispensary and not an unlicensed vendor? Licensed adult-use dispensaries in New York State are required to display their OCM license prominently. A legitimate dispensary will always ask for ID, provide a receipt, and sell only lab-tested products with compliant packaging that includes cannabinoid information. If a shop does not ask for your ID or if products appear unlabeled or suspicious, leave and find a licensed retailer. You can always verify licensed dispensaries carrying Silly Nice at sillynice.com/dispensaries or via Weedmaps.
