Flying to New York from Munich Airport (MUC)? Here's

If you just landed at John F. Kennedy International Airport or Newark Liberty International Airport on a flight from Munich, Germany, and you're looking for legal cannabis in New York City — you're in the right place. Silly Nice is a Black-owned, Veteran-owned NYC cannabis brand available at 150+ licensed adult-use dispensaries across New York State. You can find us at dispensaries throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and beyond.

New York State legalized adult-use cannabis in 2021, and the licensed retail market has grown rapidly since. As a traveler arriving from Munich, Germany, here is what you need to understand before you walk into a dispensary: cannabis is legal for adults 21 years of age and older. You will need a valid government-issued photo ID — your German passport or national ID card works perfectly — to verify your age at any licensed dispensary counter. No medical card is required. No prescription. Just valid ID and you are good to go.

It is important to shop only at licensed, state-regulated dispensaries. New York's Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) oversees all licensed operators, which means every product sold at a licensed shop has been tested, verified, and cleared for safety. You will see our Silly Nice products behind the counter at many of these licensed locations. Unlicensed gray-market shops still exist in NYC, but we strongly encourage you to visit only licensed dispensaries — both for your safety and to support the legal market that is doing things the right way.

One more thing worth noting: cannabis purchased legally in New York must stay in New York. Do not attempt to travel back to Munich — or anywhere outside New York State — with cannabis in your possession. Use and purchase are for adults 21+ within New York State only.

Lufthansa, Condor, and other carriers operate direct and connecting flights between Munich Airport (MUC) and New York. Most international travelers land at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in Queens, though some routes connect through Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) in New Jersey. Both airports are major gateways into New York City.

From JFK, you can take the AirTrain to the Jamaica Station and connect to the Long Island Rail Road or the NYC Subway E, J, or Z lines directly into Manhattan or Brooklyn. From EWR, the NJ Transit AirTrain connects to Newark Penn Station, where you can board an Amtrak or NJ Transit train into New York Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan. Both routes put you close to licensed cannabis dispensaries carrying Silly Nice products within 30 to 60 minutes of landing.

Whether you are staying in Midtown Manhattan, Downtown Brooklyn, Williamsburg, the East Village, or anywhere across the five boroughs, there is very likely a licensed dispensary near your hotel or Airbnb that carries our products. Use our store locator at sillynice.com/dispensaries to find the dispensary closest to wherever you are staying.

We are Silly Nice — and we built this brand for people who care about quality, transparency, and authenticity. We are co-founded by Shane Breen, a U.S. Army Veteran, and LeVar Thomas, partners for over 25 years. We are proudly Black-owned, Veteran-owned, LGBTQ+-owned, and family-run, based right here in Brooklyn, New York City. We launched Silly Nice in March 2024 and have grown to 150+ licensed adult-use dispensaries across New York State.

Why does any of that matter to you as a traveler from Germany? Because it means that when you pick up a Silly Nice product, you are supporting an independent, community-rooted brand — not a faceless corporation. Every product we make is small-batch, lab-tested with publicly available Certificates of Analysis (COAs) at sillynice.com/menu, and packaged with sustainability in mind. We take pride in every gram, every vape cartridge, every hash ball that leaves our hands and reaches yours.

Germany has a deep cannabis culture, and Bavarian consumers appreciate precision, craft, and transparency. That is exactly what we bring to every product we produce. We think you will recognize quality the moment you open one of our packages.

Here is a breakdown of what we make and what to ask for when you walk into a dispensary carrying Silly Nice:

Diamond Powder — 1 gram, 86.24% THC, 98.54% total cannabinoids, $50. This is one of our most talked-about products. Diamond Powder is a concentrated crystalline cannabis extract with an extraordinarily high cannabinoid profile. It is designed for experienced consumers who want maximum potency and versatility. Sprinkle it, dab it, or add it to flower — the choice is yours.

Frosted Hash Ball — 1 gram, 67.34% THC, 78.34% total cannabinoids, 5.7% terpenes, $50. If you appreciate traditional hash culture — and many travelers from Germany do — our Frosted Hash Ball is something special. Hand-crafted and rich in terpenes, this product delivers a complex, full-bodied experience that honors the craft of hash-making while meeting New York's rigorous lab-testing standards.

Bubble Hash — 1 gram, 53.32% THC, 62.86% total cannabinoids, 6.2% terpenes, $44. Our Bubble Hash is made through an ice-water extraction process that preserves the natural terpene profile of the source material. At 6.2% terpenes, the flavor and aroma are exceptionally expressive. This is a great entry point for hash lovers who want something approachable and full of character.

510 Vape Cartridge — Pink Stardust, 1 gram, 81.96% THC, 88.36% total cannabinoids, $40. Our 510-thread vape cartridge is one of the most portable, discreet, and convenient ways to enjoy Silly Nice. Pink Stardust is a fan favorite, delivering a smooth, flavorful draw with serious potency. Compatible with any standard 510 battery, which you can also purchase at most dispensaries.

2G All-In-One Vape — Alaskan Thunder Fuck, 2 grams, 82.46% THC, 84.06% total cannabinoids, $80. For travelers who want an extended experience without needing a separate battery, our 2-gram all-in-one disposable vape delivers two full grams of Alaskan Thunder Fuck in a sleek, self-contained device. Strong, smooth, and reliable.

Infused Flower — Papaya Wine, 3.5 grams, 51.22% THC, 58.63% total cannabinoids, $60. Our infused flower takes premium cannabis and elevates it further. Papaya Wine delivers a tropical, layered flavor experience with a potency that speaks for itself. Perfect for those who love to roll up or pack a bowl.

Can I use my German passport or national ID to buy cannabis at a New York dispensary? Yes. Any valid government-issued photo ID that verifies you are 21 years of age or older is accepted at licensed New York dispensaries. Your German passport is valid and widely recognized. Simply present it at the counter along with your purchase.

Is cannabis legal in New York the same way it is becoming legal in Germany? New York has a fully operational adult-use retail market. As of 2024, Germany has begun legalizing personal cannabis possession and limited social consumption under new federal law, but the retail framework differs significantly. In New York, you can walk into a licensed dispensary, browse a full product menu, and legally purchase cannabis for personal use on the spot — no club membership or waiting period required. It is a mature, regulated retail experience.

Can I bring cannabis I purchased in New York back to Munich on my return flight? No. Absolutely not. Cannabis remains a controlled substance under U.S. federal law and is subject to international aviation regulations. Do not attempt to carry any cannabis product — including vapes, hash, or flower — onto a plane or across any international border. Any cannabis purchased in New York must be consumed responsibly within the state. Plan accordingly and enjoy your purchase during your time in the city.

Whether you just touched down at JFK after a long flight from Munich or you are planning your New York trip and doing your research now, we are glad you found us. Silly Nice exists because Shane and LeVar believed New York deserved a cannabis brand with real roots, real standards, and real transparency. We are at 150+ licensed dispensaries and growing every week. Head to sillynice.com/dispensaries, find the location nearest to you, and ask for Silly Nice at the counter. We cannot wait to be part of your New York City experience.
