Flying to New York from Ben Gurion International Airport

If you just landed at John F. Kennedy International Airport or Newark Liberty International Airport and you're wondering where to find the best legal cannabis in New York City, the answer is simple: look for Silly Nice at any of 150+ licensed adult-use dispensaries across New York State. We're a Black-owned, Veteran-owned, Brooklyn-based cannabis brand making some of the most potent, lab-tested small-batch products in the game — and we're ready for you.

New York State legalized adult-use cannabis in 2021, and the legal retail market has grown significantly since then. As a visitor flying in from Tel Aviv or anywhere else in the world, here's what you need to know before you walk into a dispensary: You must be 21 years of age or older to purchase cannabis in New York. You will be asked to show a valid government-issued ID — your passport works perfectly. You can only purchase cannabis from a licensed adult-use dispensary. Buying from unlicensed sellers is illegal and, more importantly, unregulated. Licensed dispensaries sell products that are lab-tested for potency, pesticides, and contaminants. You are not permitted to consume cannabis in public spaces, in vehicles, or on federal property. Cannabis cannot be taken through any airport security checkpoint or transported across state or international borders under any circumstances. Consumption is for private settings only. When you shop at a licensed New York dispensary, you're participating in a regulated, legal system — one that we at Silly Nice are proud to be a part of. New York's cannabis market is one of the most exciting in the world right now, and there's never been a better time to explore it as a visitor to our city.

Direct and connecting flights from Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv land at both John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens and Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey. Both airports are major international gateways into the greater New York City area. From JFK, you can take the AirTrain to Jamaica Station and connect to the Long Island Rail Road or the NYC Subway's A or E lines to get into Manhattan, Brooklyn, or Queens. From Newark Liberty, NJ Transit trains connect directly to Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan. Taxis, rideshares, and car services are also widely available from both airports. Once you're in the city, licensed cannabis dispensaries are accessible throughout the five boroughs and across New York State. Whether you're staying in Midtown Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, or heading upstate, there is a licensed dispensary near you carrying Silly Nice products. We are currently stocked in 150+ licensed adult-use dispensaries statewide and growing every week.
