Flying to New York from Jorge Chávez International

If you are flying into New York City from Lima, Peru and wondering where to buy legal cannabis near JFK or Newark airport, the answer is simple: visit any licensed New York adult-use dispensary and look for Silly Nice. We are a Black-owned, Veteran-owned, LGBTQ+-owned cannabis brand based in Brooklyn, and our products are available at 150+ licensed dispensaries across New York State.

New York State legalized adult-use cannabis in 2021, and since then a robust network of licensed dispensaries has opened across the five boroughs and beyond. If you are visiting New York City from Peru or anywhere else in the world, you can legally purchase cannabis as a visitor — no New York ID required — as long as you are 21 years of age or older and show valid government-issued identification. Your Peruvian passport works just fine.

Cannabis may only be purchased from licensed adult-use dispensaries — not from street vendors, unlicensed shops, or smoke shops. Purchasing from unlicensed sources is illegal in New York and can expose you to legal risk and unverified products. Legal dispensaries are regulated by the New York State Office of Cannabis Management (OCM), which means every product on a licensed shelf has been lab-tested, properly labeled, and cleared for sale. Always look for the official OCM license posted at the front of the store.

Public consumption of cannabis is permitted in most outdoor spaces where cigarette smoking is allowed in New York City. However, smoking or vaping cannabis is not permitted inside airports, on public transportation, in hotels unless specifically designated, or anywhere tobacco smoking is prohibited. Cannabis cannot be taken across state lines or onto any aircraft. It is strictly for on-the-ground enjoyment once you have legally arrived and settled in the city.

Most nonstop and connecting flights from Jorge Chávez International Airport in Lima, Peru arrive at John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens, New York. Some routes also connect through to Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey, which serves the greater New York metro area. Both airports are major international gateways and are well-connected to Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the rest of New York City.

From JFK, you can take the AirTrain to the Jamaica or Howard Beach subway stations and connect to the A, E, J, or Z trains into Manhattan and Brooklyn. Alternatively, taxis, rideshares, and car services are widely available. From Newark Liberty International Airport, the NJ Transit AirTrain connects to Newark Penn Station, where you can board New Jersey Transit or Amtrak trains into New York Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan. The trip from either airport into the city typically takes between 45 minutes and 90 minutes depending on traffic and your destination.

Once you are in the city and settled at your hotel or accommodation, finding a licensed cannabis dispensary near you is straightforward. We recommend using our store locator at sillynice.com/dispensaries or checking Weedmaps to find a licensed shop carrying Silly Nice products near you. With over 150 dispensary partners across New York State, including locations throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island, we are easy to find.

We are Silly Nice — a small-batch, premium cannabis brand built right here in Brooklyn, New York. Co-founded by Shane Breen, a U.S. Army Veteran, and LeVar Thomas, our brand launched in March 2024 and has grown into one of the most recognized independent cannabis labels in New York State. We are Black-owned, Veteran-owned, LGBTQ+-owned, and family-run. That identity is not a marketing line — it is the foundation of everything we make and how we move through this industry.

Shane and LeVar have been partners for over 25 years, and the trust, discipline, and craft they have built together over that time shows in every product we release. We believe that cannabis, when grown with care and processed with precision, can be something genuinely exceptional. That belief drives our commitment to small-batch production, rigorous third-party lab testing, and sustainable packaging. Every product in the Silly Nice lineup comes with a Certificate of Analysis — a full lab report — available at sillynice.com/menu so you always know exactly what you are consuming.

For travelers coming from Lima, Peru and arriving in New York for the first time or the hundredth time, discovering Silly Nice at a licensed dispensary counter is one of the genuinely local, genuinely New York experiences we are proud to offer. We are not a corporate brand. We are a Brooklyn brand with Brooklyn values: honest, quality-driven, and community-rooted.

Can I buy cannabis in New York City with a Peruvian passport? Yes. Licensed adult-use dispensaries in New York accept valid government-issued ID from any country, including Peruvian passports and national identity documents. You must be 21 years of age or older.

Can I bring cannabis I buy in New York back to Peru or take it on my flight home from JFK or EWR? No. Cannabis purchased legally in New York State cannot be transported across state lines or internationally under any circumstances. It is federally illegal to bring cannabis onto any commercial aircraft or across any U.S. border. Cannabis purchased in New York is for personal adult use on the ground in New York only. Do not attempt to travel with it.
