If you're flying into New York City from Singapore's Changi Airport (SIN) and wondering where to buy legal weed near JFK or Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), the answer is simple: look for Silly Nice at any of 150+ licensed adult-use dispensaries across New York State. We're a Brooklyn-based, Black-owned, Veteran-owned cannabis brand, and we're easy to find the moment you land.
What You Need to Know About Cannabis in New York
New York State legalized adult-use cannabis in 2021, and by now the licensed retail market is fully operational. If you are 21 years of age or older and carry a valid government-issued ID — your passport works perfectly — you can legally purchase cannabis flower, concentrates, vapes, and infused products at any state-licensed dispensary. No medical card, no prescription, no local residency required. Visitors from anywhere in the world are welcome to shop legally, as long as you meet the age requirement.
A few important things to know: cannabis can only be purchased at licensed, state-authorized dispensaries. Unlicensed shops and street vendors operate outside the law and sell unregulated, untested products. Always look for a dispensary with an official New York State OCM (Office of Cannabis Management) license. And remember — cannabis is for legal adult use only. It cannot be transported across international borders, through airports, or onto any aircraft. All consumption should take place in legal, permitted locations within New York State after you have arrived and are settled.
Getting from SIN to John F. Kennedy International Airport and Into the City
Direct and connecting flights from Singapore Changi Airport (SIN) to New York City land at one of two major international airports: John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in Queens, or Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) across the Hudson River in New Jersey. Both airports serve as primary gateways for international travelers arriving in the New York metropolitan area.
From JFK, you can reach Manhattan and Brooklyn via the AirTrain connecting to the Long Island Rail Road or the A/J/Z subway lines. The ride into Midtown Manhattan typically takes between 45 minutes and one hour. From EWR, the NJ Transit train connects directly to Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan, usually around a 30-minute ride. Once you are in the city or settled at your hotel, finding a licensed dispensary carrying Silly Nice products is straightforward. We are stocked across all five boroughs and throughout New York State, so no matter where your accommodations are, there is likely a licensed dispensary near you carrying our products.
Silly Nice: The NYC Cannabis Brand Worth Seeking Out
We are Silly Nice — a small-batch, craft cannabis brand built right here in Brooklyn, New York City.

Silly Nice is proudly Black-owned, Veteran-owned, LGBTQ+-owned, and family-run. We are not a giant corporation. We are New Yorkers, and this brand is a direct expression of who we are and what we believe cannabis can be: high-quality, rigorously tested, beautifully packaged, and genuinely crafted for the people who love it.

Frequently Asked Questions for Singapore Travelers
Q: I am arriving on a flight from Singapore. Can I legally buy cannabis in New York City? Yes — if you are 21 years of age or older and have a valid government-issued ID (your passport is accepted), you can legally purchase cannabis at any state-licensed adult-use dispensary in New York. You do not need to be a U.S. citizen or New York resident. International visitors are welcome to purchase and consume cannabis legally within New York State, in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.
Q: Singapore has very strict cannabis laws. Do I need to worry about anything when leaving New York to return home? This is an important question, and we want to be completely clear: cannabis cannot be transported across international borders, through any airport security checkpoint, or onto any aircraft under any circumstances — regardless of New York State law. Cannabis purchased legally in New York must stay in New York. Never attempt to travel internationally with cannabis. The cannabis laws in Singapore are among the strictest in the world, and compliance with all applicable laws in your destination country is your responsibility.
Q: How do I make sure I am buying from a legitimate, licensed dispensary and not an unlicensed shop? New York State licensed dispensaries are authorized by the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM). When you enter a licensed dispensary, you should see their OCM license displayed. Licensed shops will always ask for valid ID proving you are 21 or older. If a shop does not card you, does not display a license, or is operating from an unmarked storefront without proper signage, that is a warning sign. Use our store locator at sillynice.com/dispensaries or Weedmaps to find only verified, licensed retailers carrying Silly Nice products.
