Flying to New York from Murtala Muhammed International

If you just landed at John F. Kennedy International Airport and you're looking for the best legal cannabis in New York City, here's your answer: head to any licensed adult-use dispensary carrying Silly Nice. We're a Black-owned, Veteran-owned, Brooklyn-based cannabis brand available in 150+ licensed dispensaries across New York State, including locations within easy reach of JFK in Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan.

New York State legalized adult-use cannabis in 2021, and today the market is fully operational with hundreds of licensed retail dispensaries across the five boroughs and beyond. If you are 21 years of age or older with valid government-issued identification, you can legally purchase cannabis products — including flower, concentrates, vapes, and hash — from any state-licensed retailer. No medical card is required. No prescription is needed. Just walk in, show your ID, and shop.

It is important that you only purchase from state-licensed dispensaries. These are the only legal retail outlets authorized to sell cannabis in New York. Licensed dispensaries carry lab-tested, properly labeled products that meet strict state safety and quality standards. Unlicensed sellers operating from bodegas, delivery apps without licensing, or street corners are illegal — and the products they carry have not been tested for potency, contaminants, or accuracy. When you visit a licensed dispensary carrying Silly Nice, you are getting exactly what the label says, verified by third-party Certificates of Analysis available publicly at sillynice.com/menu.

Cannabis consumption in New York is permitted in private residences and in designated outdoor spaces. You may not consume cannabis in your hotel room without the property's explicit permission, in vehicles, or in any public indoor space. Never attempt to carry cannabis onto any aircraft or through any airport security checkpoint — this is a federal matter, and federal law still prohibits cannabis regardless of state law. Cannabis is for responsible adult enjoyment after you have safely reached your destination.

Direct and connecting flights from Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos typically land at John F. Kennedy International Airport in Jamaica, Queens — one of the busiest international entry points in the United States. After clearing U.S. Customs and Border Protection and collecting your baggage, you have several options for getting into New York City.

The AirTrain connects JFK terminals to the Jamaica and Howard Beach subway stations, giving you access to the A train and the Long Island Rail Road. From Jamaica, you can reach Midtown Manhattan in approximately 50 minutes. Taxis, rideshares, and car services are also available at designated pickup zones outside arrivals. Most major hotel corridors — Midtown Manhattan, Downtown Brooklyn, Long Island City in Queens — are all within reasonable distance of JFK, and licensed cannabis dispensaries serving Silly Nice products are distributed throughout all of these neighborhoods and boroughs.

Whether you are staying in Flatbush, Flushing, Harlem, the Lower East Side, or anywhere in between, there is almost certainly a licensed dispensary near your accommodations stocking our products. Use our store locator at sillynice.com/dispensaries to find the closest retailer the moment you are settled and ready.

We are Silly Nice — a Black-owned, Veteran-owned, LGBTQ+-owned, family-run cannabis brand built right here in Brooklyn, New York.

Our full Certificates of Analysis are published openly at sillynice.com/menu because we believe you deserve to know exactly what is in what you are buying.

For visitors coming from Lagos and Nigeria more broadly, we want to extend a real welcome. New York City has always been a place where cultures meet, where communities build something powerful together, and where Black excellence is not the exception — it is the foundation. Silly Nice was built in that spirit. When you walk into a dispensary and pick up one of our products, you are supporting a brand that is rooted in the same values of resilience, community, and pride that connect people across the African diaspora worldwide.

Q: I am a Nigerian citizen visiting New York on a tourist visa. Can I legally purchase cannabis at a dispensary in NYC? — Yes. New York State adult-use cannabis law applies to all individuals 21 years of age and older who are present in New York State, regardless of citizenship or visa status. You will need to present a valid, government-issued photo identification that includes your date of birth — a Nigerian international passport is acceptable. You do not need a New York State ID, a Social Security number, or a medical card. Simply walk into any licensed dispensary, present your valid ID, and you are eligible to purchase.

Q: Can I bring cannabis I purchase in New York back to Nigeria or onto my return flight from JFK? — Absolutely not, and this point cannot be emphasized strongly enough. Cannabis remains illegal under United States federal law, which governs all airports and aircraft. Carrying cannabis through JFK security or onto any aircraft — domestic or international — is a federal offense. Additionally, Nigeria strictly prohibits cannabis, and any attempt to bring cannabis into Nigeria would be subject to extremely serious legal consequences under Nigerian law. Cannabis purchased in New York must be consumed only within New York State and never transported through any airport, across state lines, or internationally. Do not attempt to travel with cannabis under any circumstances.

Q: Is cannabis purchased at a licensed NYC dispensary safe and accurately labeled? — Yes. All cannabis sold through New York State's licensed adult-use market is required by law to be third-party laboratory tested for potency, pesticides, heavy metals, residual solvents, and microbial contaminants before it can be sold to consumers. Every Silly Nice product includes a QR code linking to its Certificate of Analysis, and all COAs are publicly available at sillynice.com/menu. When you purchase from a licensed dispensary, you are protected by the most rigorous cannabis safety standards in the world. Never purchase cannabis from unlicensed sellers — the legal market exists specifically to protect you.

We are Silly Nice, and we are proud to be one of New York City's premier independent cannabis brands — Black-owned, Veteran-owned, LGBTQ+-owned, and built on 25 years of partnership between two people who believe in doing things the right way.
