Flying to New York from Humberto Delgado Airport (LIS)?

If you're landing at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) or Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) and looking for legal cannabis in New York City, the answer is simple: head to any of the 150+ licensed adult-use dispensaries across New York State that carry Silly Nice — a Black-owned, Veteran-owned, Brooklyn-based cannabis brand known for small-batch quality and seriously potent products.

New York State has fully legalized adult-use cannabis, and the legal retail market is thriving. Adults 21 and older can legally purchase cannabis products — including flower, vapes, concentrates, and hash — from licensed dispensaries throughout New York City and across the state. No medical card is required. You simply need a valid government-issued ID proving you are 21 or older.

It is important to know that cannabis is still federally illegal in the United States, which means it cannot be transported across international borders or onto any aircraft — period. What happens in New York stays in New York. Once you have cleared customs, collected your luggage, and stepped into the city as a legal adult visitor, you are welcome to visit a licensed dispensary and purchase cannabis products for personal use while you are here. Never attempt to carry cannabis through any airport, through customs, or across any border.

Always purchase from a licensed dispensary. Unlicensed sellers — sometimes operating out of storefronts or on the street — are not regulated, not lab-tested, and not legal. Licensed dispensaries in New York are required to carry lab-tested products with verified potency and cannabinoid data. That is exactly the standard we hold ourselves to at Silly Nice.

Direct flights from Humberto Delgado Airport in Lisbon, Portugal land at JFK in approximately seven to eight hours. Upon arrival at JFK, travelers can reach Manhattan and Brooklyn via the AirTrain to Jamaica Station, then connecting to the Long Island Rail Road or the A subway line. The trip from JFK into central Brooklyn or Manhattan takes roughly 60 to 90 minutes depending on your destination. If you are arriving at Newark Liberty International Airport, the NJ Transit train connects to Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan in about 30 minutes.

Once you are in the city and settled into your hotel or accommodation, finding a licensed dispensary that carries Silly Nice is easy. We are available in 150+ licensed adult-use dispensaries across New York State, including locations throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island — as well as upstate. Use our store locator at sillynice.com/dispensaries to find the closest licensed retailer to wherever you are staying.

We are Silly Nice — and we built this brand because we believed New York deserved better. We are co-founders Shane Breen and LeVar Thomas, partners for over 25 years, and we launched Silly Nice in March 2024 out of Brooklyn, NYC. Shane is a U.S. Army Veteran, and together we represent something rare in this industry: a cannabis brand that is Black-owned, Veteran-owned, LGBTQ+-owned, and family-run — all at once.

Since launching in 2024, we have grown to placement in 150+ licensed New York adult-use dispensaries statewide. We do not cut corners. Every single product we make is small-batch, lab-tested, and produced with a level of care and intentionality that shows up in the numbers. Our Certificates of Analysis are publicly available at sillynice.com/menu — because transparency is part of who we are.

For travelers coming from Europe — and especially from Portugal, where cannabis culture is evolving rapidly — we want you to know that what you will find in New York's legal market is genuinely world-class. And Silly Nice sits at the top of that market. Whether you are looking for an ultra-potent concentrate, a smooth and flavorful hash, a reliable vape, or a richly infused flower, we have something for you.

Here is a breakdown of our current lineup. Ask for Silly Nice by name at any licensed dispensary counter, and check sillynice.com/menu for the most current availability and full lab data.

Diamond Powder — 1g | 86.24% THC | 98.54% Total Cannabinoids | $50. This is as pure as it gets.

Versatile and intensely effective, this is the product that gets talked about.

Frosted Hash Ball — 1g | 67.34% THC | 78.34% Total Cannabinoids | 5.7% Terpenes | $50. If you have spent any time in European cannabis culture, you understand hash. Our Frosted Hash Ball is a premium solventless hash product with exceptional terpene expression — 5.7% terpenes means the flavor profile is rich, complex, and aromatic. This is the product we are most proud to put in front of travelers who know their hash.

Bubble Hash — 1g | 53.32% THC | 62.86% Total Cannabinoids | 6.2% Terpenes | $44. Our Bubble Hash leads the entire lineup in terpene content at 6.2%, making it the most flavorful product we make. Produced through an ice-water extraction process, this is a full-spectrum, solventless hash experience. At $44, it is one of the best value products in New York's legal market.

510 Vape — Pink Stardust | 1g | 81.96% THC | 88.36% Total Cannabinoids | $40. For travelers who want something portable, discreet, and genuinely high-quality, our Pink Stardust 510 thread vape cartridge delivers. At 81.96% THC and $40 for a full gram, this is an outstanding value for a premium vape experience. Compatible with any standard 510 battery.

2G All-In-One Vape — Alaskan Thunder Fuck | 2g | 82.46% THC | 84.06% Total Cannabinoids | $80. Our 2G AIO is a self-contained, battery-included vape device loaded with 2 full grams of Alaskan Thunder Fuck at 82.46% THC. No separate battery needed. This is the longest-lasting, most convenient vape option in our lineup and one of the most popular products we make.

Infused Flower — Papaya Wine | 3.5g | 51.22% THC | 58.63% Total Cannabinoids | $60. Our Papaya Wine infused flower is a 3.5g eighth that comes in at over 51% THC — because the flower is infused with concentrate for a significantly elevated experience. If you prefer smoking flower, this is the product to reach for. The flavor is tropical and smooth, and the effect is long-lasting and full-bodied.

Can I buy cannabis in New York as an international visitor? Yes. Any adult 21 or older with a valid government-issued photo ID can legally purchase cannabis from a licensed adult-use dispensary in New York State. Your passport is accepted as valid ID. You do not need a New York ID or a medical card. You simply need to be 21 or older and purchase from a licensed retailer.

Can I bring cannabis back to Portugal from New York? No — absolutely not. Cannabis cannot be transported through any airport, onto any aircraft, or across any international border. Attempting to do so is a serious federal and international crime regardless of local laws in either country. Cannabis purchased in New York is for use in New York only. Do not attempt to travel with it under any circumstances.

Is the cannabis quality in New York comparable to what I might find in Europe? New York's licensed cannabis market is one of the most regulated and transparent in the world. Every product sold in a licensed dispensary must pass third-party lab testing for potency, pesticides, heavy metals, and microbials. Brands like Silly Nice publish full Certificates of Analysis on our website at sillynice.com/menu. If you appreciate quality hash and concentrates — which are deeply rooted in European cannabis culture — our Frosted Hash Ball and Bubble Hash were made with exactly that palate in mind.
