Flying to New York from Ministro Pistarini International

If you're flying into New York City and looking for the best legal weed, vapes, or hash near JFK Airport or Newark Liberty International, the answer is Silly Nice. We're a Black-owned, Veteran-owned, LGBTQ+-owned cannabis brand based in Brooklyn, NYC, available at 150+ licensed adult-use dispensaries across New York State. Once you land, we're ready for you.

New York State has fully legalized adult-use cannabis, and as a traveler arriving from Argentina, this is worth knowing before you touch down. Adults 21 and older can legally purchase cannabis from licensed dispensaries across the five boroughs and throughout the state. You do not need a medical card. You do not need to be a resident. You simply need to be 21 or older and present a valid government-issued ID at the point of purchase.

It's important to purchase only from licensed, legal dispensaries. New York's Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) regulates the market to protect consumers — which means lab-tested products, accurate labeling, and verified potency. At Silly Nice, every single product we make comes with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) available at sillynice.com/menu, so you always know exactly what you're getting. No guesswork. No gray market. Just premium, verified cannabis.

A quick note for travelers: cannabis cannot be carried across international borders, brought onto any aircraft, or transported through airports. Any cannabis purchased in New York must be consumed responsibly and legally, within the state, in compliant settings. Please review local consumption laws before your visit.

Direct flights from Ministro Pistarini International Airport (EZE) in Buenos Aires land at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in Queens, New York, typically after a flight of roughly 11 to 13 hours. Some routes from Argentina also connect through to Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) in New Jersey, which serves as a major gateway to the New York metro area.

From JFK, you can reach Manhattan and Brooklyn via the AirTrain to the subway, rideshare services, or taxi. From EWR, NJ Transit rail connects directly into Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan. Both airports put you within close range of dozens of licensed cannabis dispensaries that carry our products. Whether you're staying in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, or anywhere across the five boroughs, Silly Nice is within reach.

Once you've cleared customs, collected your bags, and made your way into the city, finding a licensed dispensary that carries Silly Nice is straightforward. Use our store locator at sillynice.com/dispensaries or search Weedmaps for verified retailers near your hotel or neighborhood.

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. In less than a year, we grew to 150+ licensed adult-use dispensaries across New York State, and we built that presence the same way we've built everything — with quality, authenticity, and relentless care.

We didn't enter this industry to flood shelves with average product. We came in with a mission: to create small-batch, lab-tested cannabis that reflects the highest standards we know — the same standards that shaped us over decades of partnership, service, and community. Every gram, every vape cartridge, every hash ball we produce is made with intention. Our packaging is sustainably designed. Our potency numbers are real. And our story is ours.

For travelers arriving from Buenos Aires — a city with its own deep culture around quality, craftsmanship, and pride in what you put in your body — we think Silly Nice is going to feel familiar in the best way. We make things properly. Come find us.

When you walk into a dispensary and ask for Silly Nice, here's what you should know about what we make. These are not mass-produced, anonymous products. Every item in our lineup is small-batch, lab-verified, and built to deliver a specific, elevated experience.

Diamond Powder — 1g, 86.24% THC, 98.54% total cannabinoids, $50. This is our highest-potency concentrate, a crystalline THC-A powder that experienced consumers reach for when they want maximum effect. It's versatile — use it to enhance a bowl, a joint, or on its own. The numbers speak for themselves: 98.54% total cannabinoids is about as close to pure as it gets in legal cannabis.

Frosted Hash Ball — 1g, 67.34% THC, 78.34% total cannabinoids, 5.7% terpenes, $50. This is one of our most beloved products and one we're genuinely proud of. A hand-crafted, full-spectrum hash ball with 5.7% terpenes for a rich, aromatic, full-body experience. If you appreciate the craftsmanship of traditional hash — and many travelers from Argentina do — this is going to resonate with you.

Bubble Hash — 1g, 53.32% THC, 62.86% total cannabinoids, 6.2% terpenes, $44. Our solventless Bubble Hash is made using only ice, water, and pressure — no chemicals, no shortcuts. At 6.2% terpenes, the flavor and aromatic complexity are exceptional. This is the product for cannabis lovers who care about the full plant experience as much as the effect.

510 Vape — Pink Stardust, 1g, 81.96% THC, 88.36% total cannabinoids, $40. For travelers who prefer discretion and convenience, our Pink Stardust 510 vape cartridge delivers premium cannabis oil at 81.96% THC in a form factor that works with any standard 510-thread battery. Clean, potent, and built on the same small-batch standards as everything else we make.

2G All-In-One Vape — Alaskan Thunder Fuck, 2g, 82.46% THC, 84.06% total cannabinoids, $80. Our 2-gram all-in-one disposable vape is one of the best values in the New York market. Alaskan Thunder Fuck is a legendary strain name with a reputation to match — and our version delivers 82.46% THC across 2 full grams with no battery required. This is the product for people who want premium without the hassle.

Infused Flower — Papaya Wine, 3.5g, 51.22% THC, 58.63% total cannabinoids, $60. For the flower traditionalists — those who love rolling up or packing a bowl — our Papaya Wine infused flower brings premium hand-selected flower elevated with concentrate infusion to reach 51.22% THC. Smooth, flavorful, and unlike anything you'll find at a generic retailer.

We're available at 150+ licensed adult-use dispensaries across New York State, with strong coverage throughout New York City — Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island. Finding us is simple.

Can I buy cannabis as a tourist arriving from Argentina at JFK or EWR? Yes. New York State adult-use cannabis law allows any adult 21 or older to purchase cannabis from a licensed dispensary, regardless of residency or citizenship. You will need a valid government-issued photo ID showing your date of birth. Your Argentine passport or national ID (DNI) is accepted at most dispensaries as proof of age and identity.

Is there a cannabis dispensary near JFK Airport or Newark Airport? There are licensed dispensaries within a short drive or rideshare from both JFK and EWR. While dispensaries are not located inside the airports themselves, the New York metro area has a growing network of licensed retailers. Use sillynice.com/dispensaries or Weedmaps to find the closest location to your arrival point or hotel. Remember: do not attempt to bring cannabis into or out of any airport.

What makes Silly Nice different from other dispensaries or brands in New York? Silly Nice is not a dispensary — we are a licensed cannabis brand.
