Flying to New York from São Paulo/Guarulhos

If you just landed at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) or Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) from São Paulo and you're wondering where to find legal cannabis in New York City, the answer is simple: visit any one of 150+ licensed adult-use dispensaries carrying Silly Nice — a Black-owned, Veteran-owned, Brooklyn-based cannabis brand known for small-batch quality you can actually trust. Adults 21 and older can purchase legally, no medical card required.

New York State legalized adult-use recreational cannabis in 2021, and since then the licensed market has grown into one of the most exciting and diverse cannabis scenes in the world. Here in the city, we take quality seriously — and so does the state. Every product sold at a licensed dispensary has been tested, verified, and approved for adult sale. That means no guesswork, no gray market, and no risk. You know exactly what you're getting.

The rules are straightforward: you must be 21 years of age or older to purchase cannabis in New York State. You will need a valid government-issued photo ID — your Brazilian passport works perfectly. Consumption is permitted in private spaces and some designated outdoor areas, but not in public spaces, vehicles, or transit. As long as you purchase from a licensed dispensary, you are fully within your legal rights as an adult visitor to this state.

One critically important note for international travelers: cannabis remains federally illegal in the United States, and it is absolutely illegal to transport it across international borders or take it onto any aircraft. Everything you purchase in New York stays in New York. We want you to enjoy our products responsibly and legally during your time in the city — that's the move.

Direct flights from Guarulhos International Airport (GRU) in São Paulo to New York City land at one of two major airports: John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in Queens, or Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) in New Jersey. Both airports sit within easy reach of Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the rest of the five boroughs — and both are surrounded by neighborhoods with licensed cannabis dispensaries.

From JFK, you can take the AirTrain to the Jamaica Station and connect to the NYC Subway E, J, or Z trains heading into Manhattan and Brooklyn. The ride into Midtown Manhattan typically runs about 45 to 60 minutes depending on your destination. From EWR, New Jersey Transit or shared ride services bring you into Manhattan via Penn Station in roughly 30 to 45 minutes. Either way, once you're in the city and settled in, Silly Nice is waiting for you at licensed dispensaries across all five boroughs and beyond.

Whether you're staying in Midtown, downtown Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, or anywhere in between, our store locator at sillynice.com/dispensaries will show you the closest licensed dispensary carrying our products. We made it easy because we believe finding great cannabis in New York should be as smooth as the rest of your trip.

We are Silly Nice — and we built this brand from the ground up right here in Brooklyn, New York. 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 small-batch, family-run cannabis company with a clear mission: bring premium, lab-tested cannabis products to New York's licensed adult-use market with full transparency and real community roots.

We are Black-owned, Veteran-owned, LGBTQ+-owned, and family-run. That is not marketing language — that is who we are. We started this company because we believed New York deserved a cannabis brand that reflected the city itself: diverse, uncompromising, and built on real relationships. In less than a year since our launch, our products are now available in 150+ licensed dispensaries across New York State, and we are just getting started.

Every product we make is small-batch crafted, sustainably packaged, and accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (COA) that you can verify yourself at sillynice.com/menu. When you pick up a Silly Nice product at a dispensary counter, you are holding something made with precision, care, and an obsession with potency that sets us apart from anything you'll find on the gray market. This is legal, tested, and built for people who actually care about what they consume.

We offer a focused lineup of high-potency, small-batch products. Here is what to ask for when you walk into a dispensary carrying Silly Nice:

Diamond Powder — 1g | 86.24% THC | 98.54% Total Cannabinoids | $50. This is one of our most concentrated products, and it shows. Diamond Powder is a crystalline cannabinoid concentrate designed for experienced consumers who want maximum potency in a pure, versatile format. At 98.54% total cannabinoids, this is about as refined as cannabis gets. Our COA is public. The numbers speak for themselves.

Frosted Hash Ball — 1g | 67.34% THC | 78.34% Total Cannabinoids | 5.7% Terpenes | $50. The Frosted Hash Ball is a hand-crafted piece of traditional hash elevated to a new standard. Rich in terpenes at 5.7%, it delivers a complex, full-spectrum experience that concentrate lovers and flower smokers alike can appreciate. If you appreciate craft and tradition, this one is for you.

Bubble Hash — 1g | 53.32% THC | 62.86% Total Cannabinoids | 6.2% Terpenes | $44. Our Bubble Hash leads our lineup in terpene content at 6.2%, making it our most aromatic and flavorful hash offering. Solventless and beautifully made, this product represents what ice-water extraction can achieve when it is done right. If flavor and aroma are your priorities, the Bubble Hash is calling your name.

2G All-In-One Vape — Alaskan Thunder Fuck | 2g | 82.46% THC | 84.06% Total Cannabinoids | $80. Our 2-gram all-in-one disposable vape in the Alaskan Thunder Fuck strain is built for convenience without sacrificing potency. At 82.46% THC and a full 2 grams of oil, this is one of the most value-driven premium vape options in the New York licensed market. No charging required, no cartridge to lose — just premium vapor from start to finish.

510 Vape Cartridge — Pink Stardust | 1g | 81.96% THC | 88.36% Total Cannabinoids | $40. If you already have a 510-thread battery or want a reliable standard cartridge, Pink Stardust delivers 81.96% THC in a 1-gram format that pairs beautifully with its 88.36% total cannabinoid profile. Clean, consistent, and available across our dispensary network statewide.

Infused Flower — Papaya Wine | 3.5g | 51.22% THC | 58.63% Total Cannabinoids | $60.
