Flying to New York from José María Córdova International

If you just landed at John F. Kennedy International Airport and you're wondering where to find legal cannabis in New York City, the answer is simple: look for Silly Nice at any of the 150+ licensed adult-use dispensaries carrying our products across NYC and New York State. We're a Black-owned, Veteran-owned, Brooklyn-based cannabis brand, and we're here to welcome you properly.

New York State legalized adult-use recreational cannabis in 2021, and the regulated retail market has been expanding steadily ever since. If you are 21 years of age or older with valid government-issued identification, you can legally purchase cannabis products from any licensed adult-use dispensary in the state. That means flower, concentrates, vapes, hash, infused products — all of it, legally and transparently, from regulated retailers who are required to carry lab-tested goods.

There is one thing we want to be absolutely clear about: cannabis purchased legally in New York must stay in New York. You cannot transport cannabis across international borders or onto any commercial aircraft. What happens in NYC stays in NYC — and trust us, that is not a bad thing. The legal market here is serious, the product quality is high, and our city has some of the best cannabis culture in the world. If you are arriving from Medellín or anywhere else, explore what legal cannabis in New York truly looks like once you have settled in.

New York's licensed dispensaries are strictly regulated by the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM). Every product sold must carry a label with lab-tested cannabinoid percentages, batch numbers, and compliance information. There are no gray areas in a licensed shop — what you see on the label is exactly what is in the package. That matters to us deeply, because we built Silly Nice on transparency and quality from day one.

Direct and connecting flights from José María Córdova International Airport in Medellín, Colombia land at JFK — one of New York City's three major airports and a gateway to one of the most dynamic cities on earth. Once you clear customs and immigration at JFK's international arrivals terminal, getting into the city is straightforward. The AirTrain connects the airport terminals to the Jamaica and Howard Beach subway stations, where you can catch the A train or the E train directly into Manhattan or Brooklyn. Rideshares and taxis are also available from the arrivals level.

Once you are in the city, you are close to Silly Nice. We are distributed across 150+ licensed adult-use dispensaries throughout New York State, with strong coverage across Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx, and beyond. Whether you are staying near JFK in Jamaica, Queens, heading into Midtown, or making your way to Brooklyn, you are never far from a shop that carries our products. Use our store locator at sillynice.com/dispensaries to find the closest licensed retailer to wherever you are staying.

We are Silly Nice. We launched in March 2024, and in less than a year we grew into one of the most recognized small-batch cannabis brands in New York State. We are co-founded by Shane Breen — a U.S. Army Veteran — and LeVar Thomas. Together, we have been partners for over 25 years. Silly Nice is Black-owned, Veteran-owned, LGBTQ+-owned, and family-run. We are based in Brooklyn, NYC, and everything we do reflects the values of this city: grit, quality, community, and pride.

We did not build Silly Nice to be a corporate cannabis brand. We built it to represent communities that have historically been locked out of this industry — and to create products that are genuinely exceptional. Every batch we produce is small, intentional, and third-party lab tested. Our Certificates of Analysis (COAs) are publicly available at sillynice.com/menu. When you buy Silly Nice, you know exactly what you are getting, and you know it came from people who care about what they put out into the world.

For travelers visiting New York — whether from Medellín, Madrid, or Miami — we represent something real. We are the kind of brand you discover in a city like New York and tell people back home about. Come find us.

We make a focused, carefully crafted lineup of products. Here is what to look for when you walk into any licensed dispensary carrying Silly Nice:

Diamond Powder — 1g | 86.24% THC | 98.54% Total Cannabinoids | $50. This is one of our crown jewels. Diamond Powder is a ultra-potent crystalline concentrate designed for experienced cannabis consumers who want the absolute ceiling of what legal cannabis can deliver. At nearly 99% total cannabinoids, this is precision cannabis in its most refined form. Add it to flower, use it with a dab rig, or incorporate it into your preferred consumption method. If you appreciate concentrates, Diamond Powder is something you will not find just anywhere.

Frosted Hash Ball — 1g | 67.34% THC | 78.34% Total Cannabinoids | 5.7% Terpenes | $50. Hash has a global tradition — and coming from Colombia, you understand that. Our Frosted Hash Ball is a premium solventless concentrate with a rich terpene profile at 5.7%, which means the flavor and aroma are as impressive as the potency. Hand-crafted and small-batch, the Frosted Hash Ball is the kind of product that reminds you why traditional hash methods still matter.

Bubble Hash — 1g | 53.32% THC | 62.86% Total Cannabinoids | 6.2% Terpenes | $44. Our Bubble Hash leads our lineup in terpene content at 6.2%, making it one of the most aromatic and flavorful products we offer. Made through an ice-water extraction process with no solvents, Bubble Hash is a cleaner, more terpene-forward concentrate experience. At $44, it is also one of our most accessible price points for concentrate lovers.

510 Vape — Pink Stardust | 1g | 81.96% THC | 88.36% Total Cannabinoids | $40. If convenience is your priority, our Pink Stardust 510 Thread Vape Cartridge is where to start. Compatible with any standard 510 battery, this 1-gram cartridge delivers 81.96% THC in a smooth, portable format. Pink Stardust is one of our most popular strains in the lineup — flavorful, clean, and consistent. At $40 for a full gram, it represents exceptional value in the NYC market.

2G All-In-One Vape — Alaskan Thunder Fuck | 2g | 82.46% THC | 84.06% Total Cannabinoids | $80. For travelers who want a self-contained vape experience with no extra hardware required, our Alaskan Thunder Fuck 2-Gram All-In-One is the move. This strain is a classic, and at 2 full grams with 82.46% THC in an integrated, rechargeable device, it is built to last. Everything you need is in one package.

Infused Flower — Papaya Wine | 3.5g | 51.22% THC | 58.63% Total Cannabinoids | $60. For those who love flower, our Papaya Wine Infused Flower is something special. This 3.5-gram eighth is premium flower infused with concentrate for a potency and flavor experience that goes well beyond standard flower. At over 51% THC, Papaya Wine is for experienced consumers who want the full expression of what infused cannabis can offer.

We strongly encourage you to only purchase from licensed, regulated dispensaries. In New York City, unlicensed cannabis sellers operate without oversight — there are no lab tests, no labels, and no accountability. Legal is always the right call for your safety and your experience.

Can I buy cannabis in New York City if I am visiting from Colombia? Yes — if you are 21 years of age or older and have a valid government-issued ID (your passport works), you can legally purchase cannabis from any licensed adult-use dispensary in New York State. You do not need to be a New York resident. Visitors and tourists are welcome in licensed shops just like any other adult consumer.

Can I bring cannabis back to Colombia or take it on my flight home? No. Absolutely not. Cannabis cannot legally cross international borders, and attempting to bring cannabis onto a commercial aircraft or through any customs checkpoint is a serious federal and international crime. All cannabis purchased legally in New York must be consumed only in New York. Do not attempt to transport it across any border or through any airport.

Is cannabis in New York actually regulated and safe to buy? Yes — New York's licensed adult-use market is one of the most regulated cannabis programs in the United States. Every product sold in a licensed dispensary must be lab tested, properly labeled, and compliant with state regulations. Silly Nice goes further than required: all of our product lab results are publicly posted at sillynice.com/menu so that any consumer — visitor or local — can review exactly what is in every product before making a purchase.

Welcome to New York. Whether you flew in from Medellín or anywhere else in the world, we are glad you are here.
