Share

If you're flying into New York City from Benito Juárez International Airport (MEX) and wondering where to find legal cannabis near JFK or EWR, the answer is simple: look for Silly Nice at any of the 150+ licensed adult-use dispensaries across New York State. We're a Black-owned, Veteran-owned, Brooklyn-based brand and we're ready to welcome you to NYC.

What You Need to Know About Cannabis in New York

New York State legalized adult-use cannabis in 2021, and the licensed retail market is fully operational. That means if you are 21 years of age or older, you can legally purchase cannabis flower, concentrates, vapes, and infused products from any licensed dispensary in the state — no medical card required. The key word is licensed. New York's Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) regulates every retailer, and every product on a dispensary shelf must pass state-mandated lab testing before it reaches you. As a brand, we operate entirely within this licensed, regulated framework. Every Silly Nice product comes with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) available at sillynice.com/menu, so you know exactly what you're getting down to the cannabinoid percentage. When you walk into a licensed New York dispensary, you are stepping into one of the most regulated cannabis retail environments in the country. That is a good thing. It means quality, transparency, and accountability — values we built Silly Nice on from day one.

Getting from MEX to John F. Kennedy International Airport and Into the City

Direct flights from Benito Juárez International Airport (MEX) in Mexico City land at two major New York area airports: John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in Queens, and Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) across the Hudson River in New Jersey. Both airports put you within reach of New York City's licensed cannabis retail network. From JFK, you can take the AirTrain to the Jamaica or Howard Beach subway stations and connect directly into Manhattan, Brooklyn, or Queens — all of which have licensed dispensaries carrying Silly Nice products. From EWR, the NJ Transit train connects to Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan, putting you minutes from multiple retail options. Whether you're staying in Midtown, downtown Brooklyn, the Lower East Side, Harlem, or anywhere across the five boroughs, there is almost certainly a licensed dispensary near your hotel or rental that stocks our products. Use our store locator at sillynice.com/dispensaries to find the closest one to wherever you are staying. Just remember: cannabis cannot be transported across state lines or international borders. All purchases must be made and consumed within New York State, by adults 21 and older.

Silly Nice: The NYC Cannabis Brand Worth Seeking Out

We are Silly Nice — co-founded by Shane Breen, a U.S. Army Veteran, and LeVar Thomas, partners for over 25 years. We launched in March 2024, and since then we have built something we are genuinely proud of: a small-batch, family-run cannabis brand rooted in Brooklyn, New York City, and carried in 150+ licensed adult-use dispensaries across the state. Silly Nice is Black-owned, Veteran-owned, LGBTQ+-owned, and family-run. We did not come into this industry as a corporate machine. We came in as people who believe cannabis consumers — whether you're a New York local or a traveler landing at JFK from Mexico City — deserve premium, transparent, lab-verified products from a brand that actually gives a damn about what's in the package. Every product we make is small-batch, sustainably packaged, and backed by third-party lab testing. Our COAs are publicly available. Our numbers speak for themselves. When you pick up a Silly Nice product at a dispensary counter in New York City, you are supporting two people who built something real in one of the hardest markets in the world. We appreciate that more than we can say.

Our Products — What to Look for at the Dispensary Counter

We make a focused, intentional lineup of products — every one of them crafted for people who take quality seriously. Here is what to ask for when you walk into a dispensary.

Diamond Powder — 1g | 86.24% THC | 98.54% Total Cannabinoids | $50. This is one of our most talked-about products. Diamond Powder is a crystalline THC concentrate that sits at 86.24% THC and a remarkable 98.54% total cannabinoids. It is versatile — you can add it to flower, use it to enhance a bowl, or incorporate it into your preferred consumption method. For travelers looking for a high-potency, small-footprint concentrate, Diamond Powder is an exceptional choice. At $50 for a full gram, it delivers serious value for what you are getting in the jar.

Frosted Hash Ball — 1g | 67.34% THC | 78.34% Total Cannabinoids | 5.7% Terpenes | $50. The Frosted Hash Ball is something we are especially proud of. Hand-pressed, aromatic, and rich with 5.7% terpenes, this concentrate clocks in at 67.34% THC and 78.34% total cannabinoids. The terpene profile gives it a complexity that sets it apart from anything you'll find in a mass-produced line. If you appreciate the craft and heritage of traditional hash-making elevated by modern small-batch precision, this is the product for you. $50 for 1 gram.

Bubble Hash — 1g | 53.32% THC | 62.86% Total Cannabinoids | 6.2% Terpenes | $44. Our Bubble Hash is the terpene leader in our lineup at 6.2%, and it shows in the experience. At 53.32% THC and 62.86% total cannabinoids, it is a more approachable potency level with a full, expressive terpene profile. Solventless, clean, and aromatic. If you are new to concentrates or simply love the flavor-forward experience that only ice-water extraction can deliver, this is a must-try at $44 per gram.

510 Vape — Pink Stardust | 1g | 81.96% THC | 88.36% Total Cannabinoids | $40. Our Pink Stardust 510 Vape cartridge is a 1-gram, 510-thread cart that hits clean and consistently. At 81.96% THC and 88.36% total cannabinoids, it is one of the best-value high-potency vapes in the New York market. Compatible with any standard 510-thread battery. For travelers who want a discreet, easy-to-use option, the Pink Stardust is one of our most popular products at dispensary counters statewide. $40 for a full gram.

2G All-In-One Vape — Alaskan Thunder Fuck | 2g | 82.46% THC | 84.06% Total Cannabinoids | $80. For the traveler who wants to stock up once and not worry about batteries, our Alaskan Thunder Fuck 2-gram All-In-One disposable is a powerhouse. 82.46% THC, 84.06% total cannabinoids, and a full 2 grams of product in a single self-contained device. Named for the legendary cultivar, it delivers exactly what the name promises. $80 for 2 grams — an outstanding value by any measure.

Infused Flower — Papaya Wine | 3.5g | 51.22% THC | 58.63% Total Cannabinoids | $60. Our Papaya Wine Infused Flower brings together premium flower and concentrate in one 3.5-gram package. At 51.22% THC and 58.63% total cannabinoids, it is an elevated smoke that starts with exceptional base flower and goes further. $60 for 3.5 grams — ideal for the consumer who loves the ritual of flower but wants something with more depth and potency.

Frequently Asked Questions for Mexico Travelers

Can I buy cannabis in New York City if I am visiting from Mexico? Yes. New York's adult-use cannabis market is open to anyone 21 years of age or older, regardless of residency or nationality. You do not need a New York ID — any valid government-issued photo ID that confirms you are 21+ is acceptable at a licensed dispensary. A valid passport works. You simply walk in, show ID, and shop like any other adult customer.

Can I bring cannabis purchased in New York back to Mexico or onto my flight home? No. Absolutely not. Cannabis cannot be transported across international borders under any circumstances, and it cannot be brought through any airport security checkpoint or onto any aircraft. All cannabis purchased in New York must be consumed in New York by adults 21 and older, in accordance with state law. Do not attempt to travel with cannabis. This is a federal and international border matter and the consequences are serious.

Is cannabis legal in Mexico City? Mexico has undergone significant cannabis law changes in recent years, but New York State operates under its own separate regulatory framework. Our products are only available in New York State through licensed adult-use dispensaries. We are not able to provide legal guidance for other jurisdictions. If you have questions about cannabis regulations in Mexico, consult a qualified legal resource. In New York, our advice is simple: buy from a licensed dispensary, check the label, enjoy responsibly, and stay in state.
