Flying to New York from Naples International Airport

If you're flying into John F. Kennedy International Airport from Naples, Italy, and wondering where to find legal cannabis in New York City — the answer is simple: head to any of the 150+ licensed adult-use dispensaries across New York State carrying Silly Nice. We're a Black-owned, Veteran-owned, Brooklyn-based cannabis brand offering lab-tested flower, hash, vapes, and concentrates. Adults 21+ only. No prescription needed. Just walk in.

New York State fully legalized adult-use cannabis in 2021, and the legal retail market has grown rapidly since. As a traveler arriving from Naples or anywhere else in Europe, here is what you need to know before you shop. Cannabis is legal for adults 21 years of age and older. You must purchase from a licensed dispensary — not from unlicensed street vendors or smoke shops. Licensed dispensaries are regulated by the New York State Office of Cannabis Management (OCM), which means every product on the shelf has been tested, labeled, and approved for legal sale.

You do not need a medical card. You do not need to be a New York resident. All you need is a valid government-issued photo ID proving you are 21 or older — your Italian passport works perfectly. You can legally purchase and possess up to three ounces of cannabis flower or its equivalent in concentrate or vape form at one time. Consumption is permitted in private residences and certain designated public spaces, but never on federal property, in airports, or while in transit. Shop smart, stay legal, and enjoy New York.

Direct and connecting flights from Naples International Airport (NAP) to John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) typically run between 10 and 14 hours depending on routing. Once you land at JFK in Queens, getting into Manhattan or Brooklyn is straightforward. The AirTrain connects JFK terminals to the Jamaica and Howard Beach subway stations, where you can hop on the A train or the E train into Manhattan for under $15. Taxis, rideshares, and car services are also available at all terminals.

Once you are in the city and settled — whether you are staying in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, or anywhere else across the five boroughs — you are never far from a licensed dispensary stocking Silly Nice products. Our brand is available in 150+ licensed New York adult-use dispensaries statewide, and our full store locator is available at sillynice.com/dispensaries. We are particularly well-represented in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and the broader metro area, so finding us close to your hotel or Airbnb is easier than you might think.

We are Silly Nice — and we built this brand for people who demand quality, transparency, and something worth talking about. Co-founded by Shane Breen, a U.S. Army Veteran, and LeVar Thomas, partners for over 25 years, Silly Nice launched in March 2024 as a family-run operation rooted in Brooklyn, New York City. We are proud to be Black-owned, Veteran-owned, and LGBTQ+-owned. From day one, we set out to do things differently in the New York cannabis market.

What makes us different? We go small-batch and never cut corners. Every product we release is independently lab-tested with full Certificates of Analysis (COAs) available publicly at sillynice.com/menu. Our packaging is sustainably designed. Our potency numbers are not estimates — they are verified. And in less than a year since launch, we grew to over 150 licensed dispensary locations across New York State. When travelers ask us what to look for in a New York cannabis brand, we always say the same thing: look for one that stands behind what it makes. That is us.

Whether you are a hash lover, a vape person, or someone who appreciates potent concentrate at the highest level, we have something built for you. Here is a breakdown of what to ask for when you walk into any dispensary carrying Silly Nice.

Diamond Powder — 1 gram, $50. At 86.24% THC and 98.54% total cannabinoids, our Diamond Powder is one of the most potent cannabis concentrates available on the legal New York market. This is pure crystalline THC-A in powder form, designed for experienced consumers who want maximum potency. It can be dabbed, added to flower, or used to elevate other products. Lab-tested, verified, and nothing like what you will find from unlicensed sources. If you are an experienced concentrate consumer arriving from Italy and want to see what New York legal cannabis looks like at the top end — this is your answer.

Frosted Hash Ball — 1 gram, $50. At 67.34% THC, 78.34% total cannabinoids, and 5.7% terpenes, our Frosted Hash Ball is a premium solventless concentrate that hash lovers from anywhere in the world will immediately appreciate. We slow-press and hand-finish each ball with a frosted kief exterior. The terpene profile is rich and expressive. If you have spent time with quality European hash and want to see how New York legal cannabis approaches the same tradition with its own identity, this is the product that will make you a fan.

Bubble Hash — 1 gram, $44. Our Bubble Hash comes in at 53.32% THC, 62.86% total cannabinoids, and an impressive 6.2% terpenes. Made using ice-water extraction with no solvents, Bubble Hash is one of the cleanest, most flavorful ways to consume cannabis concentrate. The 6.2% terpene content means the flavor is front and center every time. Approachable for a range of experience levels, and priced at $44, it is one of the best values in the New York legal market.

510 Vape — Pink Stardust, 1 gram, $40. If you want something discreet, consistent, and genuinely potent, our Pink Stardust 510 vape cartridge delivers 81.96% THC and 88.36% total cannabinoids in a single gram. Compatible with any standard 510-thread battery, this cartridge offers a clean, lab-verified draw every time. No mystery oil, no cutting agents, no surprises. Just tested, licensed, legal cannabis oil from a brand that puts its COAs on the website for anyone to read.

2G All-In-One Vape — Alaskan Thunder Fuck, 2 grams, $80. Our Alaskan Thunder Fuck 2G AIO is a self-contained, rechargeable vape device with a full two grams of oil at 82.46% THC and 84.06% total cannabinoids. No separate battery needed. No cartridge to attach. Just charge and go. At $80 for two grams, it is an exceptional value for travelers who want a premium, all-inclusive vape experience without having to buy multiple pieces of equipment.

Infused Flower — Papaya Wine, 3.5 grams, $60. Our Papaya Wine Infused Flower brings together whole cannabis flower and additional concentrate infusion to reach 51.22% THC and 58.63% total cannabinoids across 3.5 grams. The tropical, fruit-forward terpene profile makes this one of the most flavorful products in our lineup. If you prefer smoking flower and want something elevated beyond standard retail cannabis, Papaya Wine is the answer.

Finding Silly Nice is easy. Our products are available in 150+ licensed New York adult-use cannabis dispensaries across the state, with strong coverage in New York City including Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. There are three simple ways to locate a dispensary near you.

First, visit sillynice.com/dispensaries for our official, always-updated store locator. You can search by neighborhood, borough, or zip code. Second, search for Silly Nice on Weedmaps, the leading cannabis dispensary directory, where you can find licensed retailers near your current location. Third, ask any budtender at a licensed New York dispensary — if they carry us, they will know exactly what you are asking about, and if they do not yet carry our products, they can often point you to a nearby location that does.

Can I buy cannabis in New York City with only an Italian passport as ID? Yes. Any valid government-issued photo ID that confirms you are 21 years of age or older is accepted at licensed New York adult-use dispensaries. Your Italian passport is a perfectly valid form of identification. You do not need a U.S. driver's license or any form of New York State ID to make a legal purchase.

Can I bring cannabis I purchase in New York back to Italy or onto my return flight from JFK? No. Cannabis remains federally illegal in the United States, which means it is prohibited in all airports, on all domestic and international flights, and across all federal property. Any cannabis purchased legally in New York must be consumed within the state. Do not attempt to travel internationally with cannabis products of any kind. This applies to all forms including vapes, hash, flower, and concentrates.

Is cannabis from a licensed New York dispensary safe to consume? Licensed dispensaries in New York State are required by law to sell only products that have passed independent laboratory testing for potency, pesticides, residual solvents, heavy metals, and microbial contaminants. Silly Nice publishes full Certificates of Analysis for every product at sillynice.com/menu. When you purchase from a licensed dispensary, you are buying a product with a verified, transparent safety record — which is not something that can be said for unlicensed street market cannabis.

New York City has one of the most exciting legal cannabis markets in the world right now, and we built Silly Nice to be the brand that international travelers and New Yorkers alike reach for when they want something real. Founded by a U.S. Army Veteran and a 25-year partner, made in small batches, tested in certified labs, and available in 150+ licensed dispensaries across the state — we are the standard for what Black-owned, community-rooted cannabis looks like in New York. Whether you just landed at JFK from Naples or you are still planning your trip, find a Silly Nice retailer near you at sillynice.com/dispensaries and see what we have been building.
