Flying to New York from Toronto Pearson International

If you're flying into New York City from Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) and wondering where to buy legal weed near JFK, EWR, or LaGuardia, the answer is simple: look for Silly Nice at any of the 150+ licensed adult-use dispensaries across New York State. We're a Black-owned, Veteran-owned, LGBTQ+-owned cannabis brand based in Brooklyn — and we're ready to welcome you to the city.

New York State has a fully legal adult-use cannabis market, and we couldn't be more proud to be part of it. If you're visiting from Canada — whether you're coming for business, a vacation, or just passing through — here's what you need to know before you head to a dispensary.

You must be 21 years of age or older to purchase cannabis in New York. You'll need a valid government-issued ID — your Canadian passport or provincial driver's license works perfectly. Cannabis can only be purchased at licensed adult-use dispensaries. You can find the full list of licensed retailers through the New York State Office of Cannabis Management (OCM). Consuming cannabis in public spaces, vehicles, or anywhere tobacco smoking is prohibited is illegal under New York law.

One critical point for our Canadian friends: do not attempt to carry cannabis across the border in either direction. It is illegal to transport cannabis across international borders, including between Canada and the United States, regardless of legality in either country. Please consume any cannabis you purchase in New York responsibly, during your stay, and in accordance with state and local laws. What you discover here stays here.

Flights from Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) to New York City serve three major airports: John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in Queens, Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) in New Jersey, and LaGuardia Airport (LGA) also in Queens. Flight time is typically about 90 minutes to just over two hours — short enough that you'll be thinking about what's next before your tray table is even back up.

From JFK, you can take the AirTrain to the subway (A train or E train) and be in Manhattan or Brooklyn in under an hour. From EWR, the NJ Transit train connects to Penn Station. From LGA, express buses and rideshares connect you directly to Midtown and beyond. No matter which airport you arrive at, you're within easy reach of licensed cannabis dispensaries that carry Silly Nice products — and we're statewide, so whether you're staying in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, Long Island, or anywhere upstate, you can find us.

Once you've cleared customs, checked into your hotel, or dropped your bags wherever you're staying, pull up sillynice.com/dispensaries or our Weedmaps listing to find the licensed dispensary nearest to you. We want your first legal cannabis experience in New York — or your hundredth — to be exceptional.

We are Silly Nice — and we built this brand from the ground up right here in Brooklyn, New York. We're co-founders Shane Breen and LeVar Thomas, partners for more than 25 years. Shane is a U.S. Army Veteran. Together, we launched Silly Nice in March 2024 with a singular mission: to create a small-batch, high-quality, community-rooted cannabis brand that reflects the culture, grit, and creativity of New York City.

Silly Nice is Black-owned, Veteran-owned, LGBTQ+-owned, and family-run. We are not a corporate brand. We are not backed by anonymous investors. We are two people who believed in something, built it themselves, and brought it to market the right way — through licensed channels, rigorous lab testing, and real relationships with dispensary partners across the state. In less than a year after launch, our products are now available in more than 150 licensed adult-use dispensaries across New York State.

If you're a cannabis consumer from Canada, you already know what quality looks like. Canada's legal market is regulated and sophisticated. We think you'll find Silly Nice meets — and exceeds — the standard you're used to. Our products are all small-batch, sustainably packaged, and fully transparent. Every product comes with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) available at sillynice.com/menu so you know exactly what you're getting.

We make concentrates, hash, vapes, and infused flower. Here's what we recommend asking about at the dispensary counter when you arrive:

Diamond Powder — 1 gram, $50. This is one of the most potent products we make. Our Diamond Powder tests at 86.24% THC and 98.54% total cannabinoids. If you're experienced with concentrates and looking for the highest-potency option Silly Nice offers, this is it. It's a crystalline concentrate meant for experienced consumers who know what they're doing. Dab it, sprinkle it, or layer it — just respect it.

Frosted Hash Ball — 1 gram, $50. Our Frosted Hash Ball is one of the products we're most proud of. It tests at 67.34% THC, 78.34% total cannabinoids, and carries a 5.7% terpene profile. That terpene count matters. This is a full-spectrum, hand-crafted hash experience that delivers flavor, aroma, and effect in a way that mass-produced concentrates simply can't match. If you appreciate traditional hash culture elevated by modern testing and small-batch care, this is your product.

Bubble Hash — 1 gram, $44. Our Bubble Hash is ice-water extracted, testing at 53.32% THC, 62.86% total cannabinoids, and a rich 6.2% terpene content — the highest terpene percentage in our line. This is the most aromatic and flavorful hash we produce. If you're someone who chases flavor as much as effect, the Bubble Hash is for you. At $44, it's also the most accessible entry point into our hash collection.

510 Vape — Pink Stardust, 1 gram, $40. Traveling light and want something discreet and convenient? Our Pink Stardust 510 thread vape cartridge tests at 81.96% THC and 88.36% total cannabinoids. It's compatible with any standard 510 battery, smooth, and designed for a clean vapor experience. This is one of our most popular products at dispensary counters across the city — and at $40 for a full gram, it's a genuinely great value.

2G All-In-One Vape — Alaskan Thunder Fuck, 2 grams, $80. If you want a vape that lasts longer and requires no separate battery, our 2G All-In-One in Alaskan Thunder Fuck is a powerhouse. It tests at 82.46% THC and 84.06% total cannabinoids. Two full grams, built-in battery, ready to go. This is the product for the visitor who wants to keep things simple and enjoyable throughout their stay in the city.

Infused Flower — Papaya Wine, 3.5 grams, $60. For those who prefer to roll or pack a bowl, our Papaya Wine Infused Flower is a 3.5-gram experience unlike anything standard flower can offer. It tests at 51.22% THC and 58.63% total cannabinoids. This is premium flower infused for an elevated experience — tropical, complex, and deeply satisfying. Perfect for a night in New York when you want something special.

Finding Silly Nice is easy. We are currently stocked in more than 150 licensed adult-use dispensaries across New York State — from Brooklyn to the Bronx, Manhattan to Queens, Staten Island, Long Island, and beyond. No matter where your hotel is or where you're spending time in the city, there is almost certainly a Silly Nice retailer near you.

The best way to find us is to visit sillynice.com/dispensaries — our official dispensary finder. You can also find us on Weedmaps by searching for Silly Nice. When you get to the dispensary, just ask the budtender for Silly Nice by name. Our packaging is distinctive and our products are memorable — they'll know exactly what you're talking about.

Can I bring cannabis from Canada into New York? No. Transporting cannabis across international borders is illegal, regardless of whether cannabis is legal in both countries. This includes air travel between Canada and the United States. Do not bring cannabis through customs at JFK, EWR, or LGA. Purchase legally once you've arrived and cleared customs in New York.

Can I use my Canadian ID to buy cannabis at a New York dispensary? Yes. A valid Canadian government-issued ID such as a Canadian passport or provincial driver's license is accepted as proof of age at licensed adult-use dispensaries in New York. You must be 21 or older to purchase.

Can I take cannabis I purchased in New York back to Canada? No. It is illegal to transport cannabis across international borders in any direction. Any cannabis purchased in New York must remain in New York. Attempting to bring cannabis back to Canada — even in your checked luggage — is a serious legal risk and is not worth it. Enjoy your purchase responsibly during your time in the city and leave nothing behind at the airport.

New York City is one of the greatest cities in the world, and now it has a legal cannabis market to match.
