Flying to New York from Keflavik International Airport

If you're flying into New York City from Reykjavik's Keflavik International Airport (KEF) and wondering where to find legal cannabis near JFK or Newark Liberty International Airport, the answer is simple: look for Silly Nice. We're a Black-owned, Veteran-owned, LGBTQ+-owned, family-run cannabis brand based in Brooklyn, and our products are available at 150+ licensed adult-use dispensaries across New York State — many accessible within minutes of your arrival.

New York State legalized adult-use cannabis in 2021, and since then a licensed, regulated market has taken shape across the five boroughs and beyond. Here's what matters most if you're a traveler arriving from Iceland: cannabis is legal for adults 21 and over. You'll need a valid government-issued ID — your passport works perfectly — to purchase from any licensed dispensary. Consumption is permitted in private spaces and in designated outdoor areas where tobacco smoking is also allowed. It is not permitted in hotels, rental cars, airports, or public transit, so plan accordingly once you're settled at your destination. Always purchase from a licensed dispensary — look for the state-issued license displayed in the window or on the retailer's website. Unlicensed shops are still operating in NYC, but buying from them puts you at risk and offers none of the consumer protections that come with the regulated market. Taxes apply to legal cannabis purchases, and prices at licensed shops reflect lab-tested, quality-assured products. When you're in a licensed store, ask specifically for Silly Nice — our products come with published Certificates of Analysis (COAs) at sillynice.com/menu, so you know exactly what you're getting.

Direct flights from Keflavik International Airport (KEF) to New York City land primarily at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in Queens, with some routes also connecting to Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) in New Jersey. Both airports are major international hubs, and both are within reach of a thriving legal cannabis market the moment you've cleared customs and are legally on New York soil. From JFK, the AirTrain connects to the subway (A and E trains) and the Long Island Rail Road, putting you in Manhattan or Brooklyn within 45 to 60 minutes. From EWR, the Newark Airport Express bus and NJ Transit trains bring you into Midtown Manhattan in about 30 to 45 minutes. As you make your way into the city, keep in mind that licensed dispensaries carrying Silly Nice products are spread throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and beyond. Whether you're staying in Midtown, Williamsburg, Astoria, or anywhere in between, there's likely a Silly Nice stockist within a short walk or ride. Use our store locator at sillynice.com/dispensaries to find the closest licensed retailer to wherever you're staying.

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 in less than a year we built our brand into one of the most talked-about names in New York's licensed cannabis market. We're Black-owned, Veteran-owned, LGBTQ+-owned, and family-run, rooted in Brooklyn, NYC. That identity isn't marketing language — it's who we are, and it informs everything we make. We entered this industry because we believe people deserve access to clean, potent, honestly labeled cannabis products made by people who give a damn. Every product we release is small-batch, lab-tested, and sustainably packaged. We don't cut corners. We don't mass-produce. We obsess over quality because that's what our community — and frankly, every cannabis consumer — deserves. For a traveler arriving from Iceland, discovering Silly Nice in a New York dispensary is a chance to experience something genuinely local and genuinely excellent. We're not a corporate brand. We're New York through and through, and we're proud to represent this city's independent, community-driven cannabis culture.

We make a focused, intentional product lineup — no filler, no fluff. Here's what to ask for when you walk into a dispensary carrying Silly Nice.

Diamond Powder — 1 gram, $50. If potency is your priority, this is where the conversation starts. Our Diamond Powder tests at 86.24% THC and 98.54% total cannabinoids. It's a crystalline concentrate that can be added to flower, used in a dab rig, or incorporated into your preferred consumption method. This is one of the highest-testing products in the New York market, and it comes with a COA to prove it. For experienced consumers who want the most from a small amount, Diamond Powder delivers.

Frosted Hash Ball — 1 gram, $50. This is a product we're genuinely proud of. Our Frosted Hash Ball tests at 67.34% THC, 78.34% total cannabinoids, and carries a 5.7% terpene profile that makes the difference in flavor and effect. Handcrafted in small batches, it's a premium solventless-style hash experience that honors the craft tradition while delivering modern potency. If you're a hash lover — and many travelers from Europe and beyond appreciate traditional hash formats — this is the product to seek out.

Bubble Hash — 1 gram, $44. Our Bubble Hash is ice-water extracted and tests at 53.32% THC and 62.86% total cannabinoids, with a 6.2% terpene content that makes it one of the most flavorful options in our lineup. At $44, it's an accessible entry point into solventless concentrates without sacrificing quality. Sprinkle it in a bowl, roll it into a joint, or press it into rosin — this is a versatile product made for people who know what they want.

510 Vape — Pink Stardust, 1 gram, $40. For travelers looking for a discreet, easy-to-use format, our Pink Stardust 510 vape cartridge is exactly that. At 81.96% THC and 88.36% total cannabinoids, it's a high-performing cartridge that fits any standard 510-thread battery. Clean oil, no additives, honest labeling. If you're exploring the city and want something convenient, this is the option.

2G All-In-One Vape — Alaskan Thunder Fuck, 2 grams, $80. Our 2G AIO is built for those who want maximum value and maximum convenience in one device. Alaskan Thunder Fuck is a classic strain name, and we've done it justice — 82.46% THC, 84.06% total cannabinoids, all in a self-contained rechargeable device. No battery required. No setup. Two full grams ready to go. At $80, it's one of the best value vape options in the New York market.

Infused Flower — Papaya Wine, 3.5 grams, $60. For those who prefer smoking flower, our Papaya Wine Infused Flower is something special. At 51.22% THC and 58.63% total cannabinoids packed into 3.5 grams, this is premium infused flower that smokes rich and hits hard. It's a full experience — not just THC numbers, but real terpene complexity and a smoking session worth savoring.

Can I bring cannabis purchased in New York back to Iceland? No. Cannabis cannot be transported across international borders under any circumstances. Do not attempt to bring any cannabis product onto your return flight from JFK or EWR to KEF or any other international destination. This applies to all cannabis products regardless of format — flower, vapes, concentrates, or edibles. Cannabis purchases are for consumption in New York State only, by adults 21 and over, in accordance with local laws.

Is cannabis legal at JFK or EWR airports? No. Both JFK and EWR are federal property, and cannabis remains federally prohibited in the United States. Cannabis is not permitted inside any airport terminal, on any aircraft, or in any transit facility. Do not consume or carry cannabis in these spaces. Once you have legally departed the airport and entered New York State, adult-use cannabis laws apply.

How do I know if a dispensary in NYC is legitimate? Look for a state-issued license visibly displayed at the retailer, and check the New York State Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) website for a list of licensed dispensaries. You can also use our store locator at sillynice.com/dispensaries, which lists only licensed adult-use retailers that carry Silly Nice. Buying from unlicensed shops is illegal and puts you at risk — always verify before you purchase.
