What You Need to Know About Cannabis in New York
New York State legalized adult-use cannabis in 2021, and the legal retail market has grown rapidly ever since. As of 2024, licensed dispensaries across New York City and the broader state are fully operational, regulated, and stocked with lab-tested products from brands like us — Silly Nice. Here's what you need to know before you walk into a dispensary for the first time in NYC.
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 is perfectly acceptable and is actually the most common form of ID used by international travelers at NYC dispensaries. There is no medical card required. Dispensaries are retail storefronts, much like a specialty shop, and the staff — called budtenders — are knowledgeable and ready to help you find the right product. Consumption is permitted in private residences and designated smoking areas, not in public spaces, hotels, or transit. Always consume responsibly and in accordance with New York State law.
It is critically important to purchase cannabis only from licensed adult-use dispensaries. Unlicensed sellers — street vendors, smoke shops without a license, pop-up tables — are illegal operations whose products have not been tested for safety or potency. Protect yourself and your experience by buying only from licensed retailers. The New York State Office of Cannabis Management maintains a database of licensed dispensaries, and you can always find authorized Silly Nice retailers at sillynice.com/dispensaries.
Getting from CMN to John F. Kennedy International Airport and Into the City
Direct and connecting flights from Mohammed V International Airport (CMN) in Casablanca arrive primarily at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in Queens, New York, with some travelers routing through or arriving at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) in New Jersey. Both airports offer straightforward access to New York City and, by extension, to the licensed dispensaries where Silly Nice products are sold.
From JFK, you can reach Manhattan and Brooklyn via the AirTrain to the subway (the A train or the E train), the Long Island Rail Road, ride-share services like Uber and Lyft, or taxis. Travel time to Midtown Manhattan typically runs 45 to 75 minutes depending on your mode of transport and traffic. From EWR, NJ Transit trains connect directly to Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan in roughly 30 to 45 minutes, and ride-share services are widely available. Once you're in the city and settled, finding a Silly Nice dispensary partner near your hotel or neighborhood is simple — just visit sillynice.com/dispensaries or search for us on Weedmaps.
Please note: cannabis cannot be transported through airports, across state lines, or in any form of transit. All purchases and consumption should happen after you have arrived, settled, and are in a private, legal setting. We want your experience to be great — and legal.
Silly Nice: The NYC Cannabis Brand Worth Seeking Out
We are Silly Nice — a Black-owned, Veteran-owned, LGBTQ+-owned, family-run cannabis brand based in Brooklyn, New York. We were founded by Shane Breen, a U.S. Army Veteran, and LeVar Thomas, who together have built a partnership spanning 25 years. We launched in March 2024 with a clear mission: to bring small-batch, premium, lab-tested cannabis products to New York's legal market with integrity, transparency, and a standard of quality that speaks for itself.
In less than a year since launch, Silly Nice products are now available in over 150 licensed adult-use dispensaries across New York State. We're proud to represent Brooklyn, to represent the communities we come from, and to be part of a legal cannabis industry that is finally creating space for Black-owned and Veteran-owned businesses. When you buy Silly Nice, you're supporting something real — a brand built from the ground up, without shortcuts, by people who believe that quality and community are not mutually exclusive.
If you've traveled from Morocco — a country with its own rich and deeply rooted cannabis culture, particularly around traditional hash — you may have a refined palate and high expectations. We welcome that. Our Frosted Hash Ball and Bubble Hash were crafted with exactly that kind of appreciation in mind. We think you'll find what we're doing here in New York stands on its own.

Frequently Asked Questions for Morocco Travelers
Can I bring cannabis from New York back to Morocco or onto my return flight? No. Absolutely not. Cannabis cannot be transported across international borders or through any airport — including JFK and EWR — under any circumstances. Doing so is a federal crime in the United States and is illegal under international law. All cannabis purchased legally in New York must be consumed within New York State. Do not attempt to travel with cannabis in any form.
Will my passport be accepted as ID at a New York dispensary? Yes. A valid, government-issued passport is widely accepted as proof of age and identity at licensed dispensaries in New York City. Budtenders verify ID for every customer, and international passports are a routine and accepted form of identification. Simply present your passport at the counter along with your intention to browse and purchase.
Is hash legal to buy in New York dispensaries? Yes — certain types of hash and cannabis concentrates are legal adult-use products in New York State and are sold at licensed dispensaries. Silly Nice offers both Frosted Hash Ball and Bubble Hash — two solventless concentrate products that share a philosophical lineage with traditional hashmaking. Both are lab-tested, regulated, and available for legal purchase by adults 21 and older. The experience is familiar, but the legal framework and quality standards are uniquely New York.
