Flying to New York from Cheddi Jagan International

If you're flying from Cheddi Jagan International Airport (GEO) in Georgetown, Guyana and landing at John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens, New York — welcome. Once you clear customs and step into the city, you can legally purchase cannabis at any licensed adult-use dispensary in New York State. Our brand, Silly Nice, is available at 150+ licensed dispensaries across NYC and statewide. Use our store locator at sillynice.com/dispensaries to find the closest location to you.

New York State legalized adult-use cannabis in 2021, and the legal retail market has grown rapidly ever since. If you are 21 years of age or older, you can legally purchase cannabis products — including flower, vapes, concentrates, and hash — from any licensed adult-use dispensary in the state. You do not need to be a New York resident. You simply need a valid government-issued photo ID proving you are 21 or older.

It is important to understand the rules before you shop. Cannabis purchased in New York is for personal use only. Consumption is permitted in private spaces and in certain designated public areas, not in vehicles, not in hotels where smoking is prohibited, and absolutely not in airports or any federal property. Cannabis cannot be transported across state lines or internationally under any circumstances. These rules exist to keep everyone safe and the market legal — we take them seriously, and so should you.

Always shop only at licensed dispensaries. If a shop doesn't have a visible New York State Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) license, walk away. Licensed dispensaries sell lab-tested, regulated products with verified cannabinoid percentages and clearly labeled packaging. That's the only kind of cannabis worth buying — and it's the only kind we make.

Direct and connecting flights from Cheddi Jagan International Airport (GEO) outside Georgetown, Guyana typically route through JFK, one of the busiest international arrival hubs in the world. Once you land at JFK, you have several options to get into New York City proper. The AirTrain connects to the subway system — take the AirTrain to Jamaica Station and connect to the E, J, or Z subway lines heading into Manhattan, Brooklyn, or Queens. You can also take a taxi or rideshare from the terminal directly to your destination.

Whether you're heading to Brooklyn, Manhattan, the Bronx, or anywhere else across the five boroughs, Silly Nice is within reach. Our products are stocked at over 150 licensed dispensaries across New York State, including locations across New York City. Before you even land, you can pull up sillynice.com/dispensaries on your phone and find the dispensary nearest to where you're staying. Planning ahead means you spend less time searching and more time enjoying your visit to New York.

We are Silly Nice — a Black-owned, Veteran-owned, LGBTQ+-owned, family-run cannabis brand based in Brooklyn, New York City. We were co-founded by Shane Breen, a proud U.S. Army Veteran, and LeVar Thomas, two partners with over 25 years of history together. We launched Silly Nice in March 2024, and in a short time, we've built something we're genuinely proud of: a small-batch, premium cannabis brand that reflects the culture, grit, and creativity of New York City.

We didn't set out to make average cannabis. We set out to make the kind of products that people talk about — the kind that makes you go back to the dispensary and ask for it by name. Every product in our lineup is lab-tested with publicly available Certificates of Analysis (COAs) posted at sillynice.com/menu. We use sustainable packaging because we believe taking care of the planet is part of taking care of our community. And we operate as a family — because that's exactly what we are.

For travelers coming from Guyana and visiting New York City, we want Silly Nice to be part of your experience. NYC cannabis culture is vibrant, diverse, and deeply expressive — and we believe our brand captures that energy better than almost anyone else in the market. When you walk into a licensed dispensary and see Silly Nice on the shelf, know that it was made with intention, tested for quality, and built by people who genuinely care about what they put in your hands.

We make a focused, curated lineup of small-batch cannabis products. Here is what to ask for when you walk up to the counter.

Diamond Powder — 1 gram, $50. If you're a concentrate enthusiast, Diamond Powder is where we start the conversation. At 86.24% THC and 98.54% total cannabinoids, this is one of the most potent legal cannabis products available in New York. It's versatile — you can use it to top flower, mix it into other concentrates, or use it on its own if you have the experience level. The purity speaks for itself. All cannabinoid data is available on our COA at sillynice.com/menu.

Frosted Hash Ball — 1 gram, $50. This is a standout product and one of our most talked-about items. At 67.34% THC, 78.34% total cannabinoids, and 5.7% terpenes, the Frosted Hash Ball delivers a full-spectrum, terpene-forward experience that concentrate lovers and hash heads absolutely appreciate. The terpene profile gives it a complexity and aroma that mass-produced products simply can't replicate. If you're curious about hash and want to try something that represents what artisanal cannabis craftsmanship looks like, this is it.

Bubble Hash — 1 gram, $44. Our Bubble Hash comes in at 53.32% THC and 62.86% total cannabinoids, with a terpene content of 6.2% — the highest terpene expression in our hash lineup. Bubble Hash is made using an ice-water extraction process that preserves the plant's natural terpene and cannabinoid profile. It's a more accessible entry point for those newer to concentrates and a beloved classic for seasoned cannabis consumers. At $44 for a gram, it's also exceptional value.

510 Vape — Pink Stardust, 1 gram, $40. For travelers who prefer the convenience and discretion of a vape, our Pink Stardust 510 thread cartridge is the move. It contains 81.96% THC and 88.36% total cannabinoids in a 1-gram cart compatible with any standard 510 battery. It's clean, potent, and straightforward — exactly what a premium vape should be. Pick up a standard 510 battery at the dispensary if you don't have one, and you're set.

2G All-In-One Vape — Alaskan Thunder Fuck, 2 grams, $80. Our 2-gram all-in-one disposable vape in the Alaskan Thunder Fuck strain is a fan favorite. At 82.46% THC and 84.06% total cannabinoids across a full 2 grams, this device delivers serious performance. No battery required — it's a self-contained unit. If you want volume, potency, and the convenience of an all-in-one, this is the best value in our vape lineup.

Infused Flower — Papaya Wine, 3.5 grams, $60. Our Papaya Wine infused flower brings together premium cannabis flower with concentrated infusion for a final product that hits 51.22% THC and 58.63% total cannabinoids across 3.5 grams. The name tells part of the story — it's aromatic, flavorful, and an elevated smoking experience. For consumers who love flower and want something beyond the standard, Papaya Wine is the answer.

Can I buy cannabis in New York City if I'm visiting from Guyana? Yes. Any adult who is 21 years of age or older can legally purchase cannabis from a licensed adult-use dispensary in New York State, regardless of where you are from. You do not need to be a U.S. citizen or a New York resident. You will need a valid government-issued photo ID — such as a passport — to verify your age at the dispensary counter.

Can I bring cannabis back to Guyana when I leave? Absolutely not. Transporting cannabis across international borders — including carrying it from New York back to Guyana or any other country — is a serious federal and international crime. Cannabis purchased in New York must stay in New York and must be consumed in accordance with state law. Do not attempt to bring any cannabis product through any airport, across any border, or onto any international flight under any circumstances.

Is there cannabis available near JFK Airport specifically? While there are no dispensaries inside JFK Airport — cannabis is prohibited on all federal property — there are licensed dispensaries accessible from the airport within a short drive or subway ride into Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan. Use our store locator at sillynice.com/dispensaries or search Weedmaps for licensed dispensaries near your destination in the city. Always confirm a dispensary is licensed before you purchase.
