Flying to New York from Queen Beatrix International

If you just landed at John F. Kennedy International Airport or Newark Liberty International Airport after flying in from Oranjestad, Aruba, and you're wondering where to find the best legal cannabis in New York City — the answer is Silly Nice. We're available at 150+ licensed adult-use dispensaries across New York State. Visit sillynice.com/dispensaries to find the closest location to you.

New York State legalized adult-use cannabis in 2021, and the legal retail market is open and growing. If you're 21 or older and arriving in New York City from Aruba, you have every right to walk into a licensed dispensary and legally purchase cannabis products for personal use. That means flower, vapes, concentrates, hash, edibles — all available to adults who meet the age requirement and shop at a state-licensed retailer.

Here's what matters most: only shop at licensed dispensaries. New York has worked hard to build a regulated market that protects consumers, ensures accurate lab testing, and supports legitimate cannabis businesses — including small, independent brands like us. Unlicensed shops may sell products without third-party testing, mislabeled potency, or outright unsafe ingredients. When you see the official New York State cannabis licensing seals on a storefront or on product packaging, you're in the right place.

Public consumption laws apply too — cannabis use is not permitted in airports, on transit, in hotels that prohibit it, or in most public spaces. Plan accordingly. Purchase at a dispensary and enjoy responsibly in a private space. Cannabis is for adults 21+ only.

Flights from Queen Beatrix International Airport in Oranjestad, Aruba typically land at John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens, New York, though some itineraries route through or terminate at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey. Either way, you're arriving in the heart of one of the most dynamic cannabis markets in the United States.

From JFK, you can take the AirTrain to the Jamaica or Howard Beach subway stations, hop on the Long Island Rail Road, or grab a rideshare into Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, or the Bronx. From EWR, NJ Transit and rideshares connect you to Manhattan in about 30 to 45 minutes. Once you're settled — whether you're staying in Midtown, downtown Brooklyn, Harlem, Astoria, or anywhere in between — a Silly Nice dispensary partner is never far away.

Use our store locator at sillynice.com/dispensaries before you even land to map out which licensed dispensary near your hotel or Airbnb carries our products. We're in 150+ locations statewide, with strong representation across all five boroughs and surrounding areas.

We are Silly Nice — a Black-owned, Veteran-owned, LGBTQ+-owned, family-run cannabis brand built in Brooklyn, New York. We were co-founded by Shane Breen, a U.S. Army Veteran, and LeVar Thomas, two partners with 25+ years of history together. We launched in March 2024 and we've grown to 150+ licensed adult-use dispensaries across New York State — all through word of mouth, quality products, and a genuine commitment to the communities we serve.

We didn't build Silly Nice to be the biggest brand in the room. We built it to be the most trusted one. Every product we put into a dispensary case is small-batch crafted, third-party lab tested with Certificates of Analysis publicly available at sillynice.com/menu, and packaged sustainably because we care about the city and the planet we're doing business in. When you pick up a Silly Nice product, you're supporting an independent, locally rooted brand that earned its place on that shelf.

Travelers flying into New York from Aruba often tell us they came here for culture, energy, and authenticity. That's exactly what Silly Nice represents in the cannabis space. We're not a faceless national brand. We're Brooklyn. We're family. We're here.

Whether you're a concentrate enthusiast, a vape person, a flower lover, or someone who wants to explore solventless hash for the first time, we've built a lineup that speaks to serious cannabis consumers. Here's what to ask for by name:

Diamond Powder — 1 gram | 86.24% THC | 98.54% Total Cannabinoids | $50. This is one of the most potent products we make. Diamond Powder is a crystalline THCA concentrate with near-total cannabinoid saturation. It's for experienced consumers who know what they want and want the best. Dab it, top a bowl, or incorporate it into your session however you prefer. The lab numbers speak for themselves.

Frosted Hash Ball — 1 gram | 67.34% THC | 78.34% Total Cannabinoids | 5.7% Terpenes | $50. This is where craft meets culture. Our Frosted Hash Ball is hand-pressed, solventless, and packed with 5.7% terpenes — which means you're not just getting potency, you're getting flavor, aroma, and a full-spectrum experience that reminds you why terpenes matter. If you've never tried a quality hash ball, this is the one to start with.

Bubble Hash — 1 gram | 53.32% THC | 62.86% Total Cannabinoids | 6.2% Terpenes | $44. Our Bubble Hash leads the lineup in terpene content at 6.2%, making it an exceptional choice for consumers who prioritize the sensory experience — the smell, the taste, the layered effect. It's made through an ice-water extraction process with no solvents involved. Clean, natural, and deeply expressive of the source material.

510 Vape — Pink Stardust | 1 gram | 81.96% THC | 88.36% Total Cannabinoids | $40. If you want a vape that delivers, Pink Stardust is it. Our 510-thread cartridge works with any standard vape battery and delivers clean, consistent hits at 81.96% THC. It's one of our best sellers for a reason — it's portable, discreet, and reliable. At $40 for a full gram, it's also one of our best values.

2G All-In-One Vape — Alaskan Thunder Fuck | 2 grams | 82.46% THC | 84.06% Total Cannabinoids | $80. For travelers who want a self-contained, ready-to-use device that lasts, our 2G AIO in Alaskan Thunder Fuck is the move. No battery needed, no threading required. Just charge and go. At 82.46% THC across two full grams, this is the vape for someone who means business.

Infused Flower — Papaya Wine | 3.5 grams | 51.22% THC | 58.63% Total Cannabinoids | $60. For those who want to roll up or pack a bowl, our Papaya Wine Infused Flower delivers a rich, layered smoke experience with 51.22% THC packed into 3.5 grams of premium infused flower. It's smooth, potent, and deeply satisfying for flower lovers who appreciate craftsmanship in every gram.
