Flying to New York from Indira Gandhi International

If you just landed at John F. Kennedy International Airport or Newark Liberty International Airport on a flight from Delhi and you're wondering where to buy legal weed in New York City — the answer is any one of the 150+ licensed adult-use dispensaries across the state carrying Silly Nice. We're a Black-owned, Veteran-owned, LGBTQ+-owned cannabis brand based in Brooklyn, NYC, and we're exactly what you've been searching for.

New York State legalized adult-use cannabis in 2021, and today a robust, regulated marketplace exists to serve residents and visitors alike. As of 2024, adults 21 years of age or older may legally purchase cannabis products — including flower, vapes, concentrates, and hash — from licensed adult-use dispensaries throughout the state, including all five boroughs of New York City and beyond.

Here's what matters most if you're visiting from India: you must be 21 or older to purchase. You'll need a valid government-issued photo ID — your Indian passport works perfectly. Purchases must be made in person at a licensed dispensary. You cannot bring cannabis across international borders, so everything you enjoy here must be purchased, consumed, and left here within New York. Cannabis use is permitted in private spaces and in many outdoor areas where tobacco smoking is allowed — never in federal spaces, transit systems, or vehicles.

What makes New York's cannabis market exciting is its diversity of product categories. From solventless hash concentrates to premium vape cartridges and high-potency infused flower, there is something for every kind of consumer — from the first-time curious to the seasoned connoisseur. And when it comes to quality, few brands in New York can compete with what we've built at Silly Nice.

Most direct and connecting flights from Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi arrive at John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens, New York. The flight time from DEL to JFK typically runs 14 to 16 hours depending on routing, making the journey a long one — but New York is absolutely worth every hour. From JFK, you can reach Manhattan via the AirTrain to the subway, rideshare, taxi, or private car. Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey is also a common arrival point for travelers from India, and from EWR you can reach Midtown Manhattan in about 40 to 60 minutes by NJ Transit or rideshare.

Once you've cleared customs, collected your luggage, and made it into the city — whether you're staying in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, or anywhere in between — you'll find licensed Silly Nice dispensary partners throughout New York City and across the state. Before you even land, you can use our store locator at sillynice.com/dispensaries to find the closest licensed retailer to your hotel or Airbnb. Planning ahead means less time searching and more time experiencing everything New York has to offer.

We are Silly Nice — a cannabis brand launched in Brooklyn, New York in March 2024 by co-founders Shane Breen, a proud U.S. Army Veteran, and LeVar Thomas, partners for over 25 years. We are Black-owned, Veteran-owned, LGBTQ+-owned, and family-run. Everything we do is rooted in community, integrity, and an obsessive commitment to craft.

From day one, our mission has been to bring New York City the kind of small-batch, thoughtfully made cannabis products that respect both the plant and the people consuming it. We don't mass-produce. We don't cut corners. Every product in our lineup is independently lab-tested, with Certificates of Analysis available publicly at sillynice.com/menu so you always know exactly what you're getting. In under a year of operating, Silly Nice has grown to be carried in 150 or more licensed adult-use dispensaries across New York State — a milestone we're genuinely proud of.

For travelers arriving from India, we want you to know: New York cannabis culture is vibrant, legal, and welcoming. And we built Silly Nice to be a brand that anyone, from any background, can trust. Whether this is your first time exploring legal cannabis or you're a seasoned consumer looking for something truly excellent, we're confident you'll find exactly what you're looking for in our lineup.

We carry a curated lineup of small-batch, lab-tested products across several categories. Here are the ones you'll absolutely want to ask about when you walk into any dispensary carrying Silly Nice:

Can I bring cannabis from New York back to India? No — absolutely not. Cannabis remains federally illegal in the United States for purposes of interstate and international transport, and it is illegal to bring cannabis across any international border. Everything purchased at a New York dispensary must remain in New York. Do not attempt to travel with cannabis in your carry-on, checked luggage, or on your person when departing JFK or EWR.

Will I need a New York ID to buy cannabis? No. Any valid government-issued photo ID showing your date of birth and proving you are 21 years of age or older is accepted at licensed dispensaries. Your Indian passport is fully valid for this purpose. Dispensary staff are trained to accept international identification.

Is it safe and legal to visit a cannabis dispensary in New York as a tourist? Yes. New York's adult-use cannabis law makes no distinction between residents and tourists. If you are 21 or older with valid ID, you are legally entitled to purchase cannabis at any licensed adult-use dispensary in the state. Licensed dispensaries are legal, regulated retail establishments — professionally staffed, clean, and welcoming. Visiting a dispensary in New York City is a legitimate and protected activity for adults.
