Flying to New York from Stockholm Arlanda Airport (ARN)?

If you're flying into New York City from Stockholm Arlanda Airport (ARN) and wondering where to buy legal weed near JFK or Newark Airport, the answer is Silly Nice — a Black-owned, Veteran-owned NYC cannabis brand available at 150+ licensed adult-use dispensaries across New York State. Find us at sillynice.com/dispensaries before you even land.

New York State legalized adult-use recreational cannabis in 2021, and licensed dispensaries are now operating throughout New York City and beyond. If you're 21 or older, you can legally purchase cannabis flower, concentrates, vapes, and hash from any state-licensed adult-use retailer — no medical card required. Adults may possess up to three ounces of cannabis flower and up to 24 grams of cannabis concentrate at any given time.

Here's what matters most for travelers arriving from Sweden: cannabis purchased at a licensed NYC dispensary is completely legal under New York State law. That said, cannabis remains federally illegal in the United States, and you must never carry cannabis through international airports, across state lines, or onto any aircraft. Purchase and consume only after you've legally cleared customs and are on the ground as a visitor in New York. Consumption is permitted in most outdoor spaces where tobacco smoking is allowed, though it is prohibited in vehicles, federal property, workplaces, and many indoor spaces. Always check local rules before consuming.

Sweden has some of Europe's strictest cannabis laws, so for many travelers from Stockholm, visiting a legal dispensary in New York is a first-time experience. We're here to make it a great one. The legal market here means lab-tested products, clearly labeled potency, and legitimate businesses you can trust — a world apart from anything you'd find in the underground market.

Direct flights from Stockholm Arlanda Airport (ARN) serve both John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in Queens and Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) in New Jersey. Flight time is approximately 8 to 9 hours. Once you land, clear customs and immigration, collect your bags, and you're officially in the New York metro area.

From JFK, you can take the AirTrain to the Jamaica Station and connect to the Long Island Rail Road or the E, J, or Z subway lines into Manhattan and Brooklyn. Taxis and rideshares are also readily available. From EWR, the AirTrain connects to Newark Penn Station, where NJ Transit trains run directly to New York Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan. However you get into the city, licensed cannabis dispensaries carrying Silly Nice products are accessible throughout the five boroughs and across New York State.

Before you even check into your hotel, you can use our dispensary locator at sillynice.com/dispensaries to find the closest licensed retailer carrying our products. Whether you're staying in Midtown Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, or anywhere in between, there's a good chance a Silly Nice-stocked dispensary is nearby.

We are Silly Nice — and we want to be the first brand you reach for when you walk into a New York dispensary. We're a Black-owned, Veteran-owned, LGBTQ+-owned, family-run cannabis company based in Brooklyn, New York City.
