Flying to New York from Oslo Gardermoen Airport (OSL)?

If you're flying into New York City from Oslo Gardermoen Airport (OSL) and wondering where to buy legal weed near JFK or Newark Airport, the answer is simple: visit any of the 150+ licensed adult-use dispensaries across New York State carrying Silly Nice cannabis. We're a Brooklyn-based, Black-owned, Veteran-owned brand with premium flower, hash, vapes, and concentrates. Adults 21+ only. No prescription needed.

New York State legalized adult-use cannabis in 2021, and the legal retail market has grown rapidly since. As a traveler arriving from Oslo, Norway, here is what matters most before you walk into a dispensary: you must be 21 years of age or older to purchase cannabis in New York. You will need a valid government-issued photo ID — your Norwegian passport works perfectly. There is no requirement to be a U.S. citizen or resident. Any adult visiting New York legally can purchase cannabis products at a licensed dispensary.

Only licensed adult-use dispensaries are legally authorized to sell cannabis in New York. These are regulated by the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) and operate under strict testing and labeling requirements. That means every product on the shelf — including everything we make at Silly Nice — has been lab-tested, quality-verified, and approved for legal retail sale. You can purchase cannabis in New York for personal use and enjoy it in private spaces such as your hotel room where smoking is permitted, or in designated outdoor smoking areas. You cannot consume cannabis in public spaces, in taxis, rideshares, or on any form of public transit. And critically — do not attempt to take cannabis products across any international or state border. Enjoy it here in New York, where it belongs.

Direct flights from Oslo Gardermoen Airport (OSL) to New York City typically land at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in Queens, New York. Some routes also serve Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) in New Jersey, which is equally well-connected to Manhattan and Brooklyn. The flight from Oslo to New York runs approximately eight to nine hours nonstop, and once you land, you'll clear U.S. Customs and collect your checked luggage before heading into the city.

From JFK, you can take the AirTrain to the Jamaica or Howard Beach subway stations and connect directly into Manhattan or Brooklyn via the A or E subway lines. A taxi or rideshare from JFK to Midtown Manhattan takes roughly 45 to 60 minutes depending on traffic. From Newark Liberty (EWR), the NJ Transit AirTrain connects to Newark Penn Station, where you can board a NJ Transit or Amtrak train into New York Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan. Once you're settled into your accommodations and have your valid ID in hand, you're ready to explore New York's legal cannabis scene — and we want Silly Nice to be your first stop.

We are Silly Nice — a small-batch, premium cannabis brand founded in Brooklyn, New York. We were built by co-founders Shane Breen, a U.S. Army Veteran, and LeVar Thomas, two partners with more than 25 years of shared history. Together, we launched Silly Nice in March 2024 with a singular mission: to create the kind of cannabis products that we ourselves would be proud to consume — honest, potent, clean, and beautifully made.

Silly Nice is Black-owned, Veteran-owned, LGBTQ+-owned, and family-run. We are not a corporate operation backed by anonymous investors. We are New York City, through and through — rooted in the culture, the community, and the belief that quality should never be compromised. Since launching, we have grown to over 150 licensed adult-use dispensaries across New York State, which means whether you land at JFK, EWR, or anywhere else in New York, there is very likely a Silly Nice product within reach.

Every product we make is small-batch, lab-tested, and backed by Certificates of Analysis (COAs) that you can review at sillynice.com/menu. We believe informed consumers are the best consumers, so we make our testing data publicly available. We also take sustainability seriously — our packaging is designed with environmental responsibility in mind, because we love this city and this planet.

When you walk into a dispensary in New York City and ask about Silly Nice, here is what you should know about our lineup. We recommend asking for these products by name.

Our Diamond Powder is one of the most talked-about concentrates in New York right now. It is a 1-gram product testing at 86.24% THC and 98.54% total cannabinoids, priced at $50. This is pure, crystalline cannabis concentrate — versatile, extremely potent, and ideal for experienced consumers who want to elevate their sessions. A little goes a very long way.

Our Frosted Hash Ball is a 1-gram traditional-style hash product testing at 67.34% THC and 78.34% total cannabinoids, with an exceptional 5.7% terpene content, also priced at $50. If you're coming from a European tradition where hash has always been part of the culture, you will recognize and respect what we've built here. This is craft hash, made with care, and it delivers a rich, full-spectrum experience that flower alone often cannot match.

Our Bubble Hash is a 1-gram ice water extraction product testing at 53.32% THC and 62.86% total cannabinoids, with 6.2% terpenes, priced at $44. Bubble hash is produced without solvents, using only ice, water, and pressure to extract the most flavorful and aromatic parts of the cannabis plant. If you appreciate terpene-forward experiences and natural extraction methods, this is our recommendation for you.

For those who prefer a vape, our 510 Vape in Pink Stardust delivers 1 gram at 81.96% THC and 88.36% total cannabinoids for $40. It is compatible with any standard 510-thread battery and provides a clean, consistent experience. And if you want something that lasts longer, our 2G All-In-One Vape in Alaskan Thunder Fuck is a 2-gram disposable device testing at 82.46% THC and 84.06% total cannabinoids for $80 — a serious value for a premium, heavy-hitting product.

We also offer our Infused Flower in the Papaya Wine strain — 3.5 grams at 51.22% THC and 58.63% total cannabinoids for $60. This is premium flower infused for significantly elevated potency, with a flavor profile that is tropical, smooth, and deeply satisfying.

Can I buy cannabis in New York City as a Norwegian citizen visiting on a tourist visa? Yes, absolutely. Legal adult-use cannabis in New York is available to any adult aged 21 or older, regardless of nationality or residency status. Your Norwegian passport is a valid government-issued photo ID and will be accepted at any licensed dispensary in New York State. You do not need a New York ID, a medical card, or any special documentation beyond proof that you are 21 or older.

Can I bring cannabis I purchase in New York back to Norway on my return flight from JFK? No. This is critically important: you must never attempt to transport cannabis across international borders. Cannabis remains illegal under U.S. federal law and Norwegian law. Purchasing cannabis in New York for personal enjoyment within New York is perfectly legal — transporting it internationally is not. Any cannabis you purchase should be consumed responsibly during your visit and never packed into luggage intended for international travel.
