Flying to New York from Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW)?

If you're landing at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) or Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) from Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW) and wondering where to find legal cannabis in New York City, the answer is simple: Silly Nice is available at 150+ licensed adult-use dispensaries across New York State. You can find our full store locator at sillynice.com/dispensaries.

New York State legalized adult-use cannabis in 2021 under the Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act (MRTA), and licensed dispensaries began opening their doors to the public shortly after. For travelers flying in from Poland, here is what matters most: cannabis is legal for adults 21 and older in New York State. You must purchase from a licensed dispensary — not from the street, not from unlicensed shops, and not from anyone without a state-issued Conditional Adult-Use Retail Dispensary (CAURD) or standard adult-use license. Look for the official New York State dispensary signage and always ask to see the store's license if you are unsure. Consuming cannabis is permitted in certain outdoor public spaces where smoking is allowed, but never in vehicles, transit systems, airports, or any federally regulated space. Always consume responsibly and in accordance with local regulations. We want every visitor to New York to have a safe, legal, and genuinely great first experience with cannabis here — and we mean that.

Direct and connecting flights from Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW) arrive primarily at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in Queens, New York, and occasionally at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) in New Jersey. The flight time is typically around ten to eleven hours, depending on the route. From JFK, you can reach Midtown Manhattan via the AirTrain to Jamaica Station and then the Long Island Rail Road or the E, J, or Z subway lines. From EWR, the NJ Transit train connects to Penn Station in Manhattan in roughly 30 minutes. Once you are in the city, you are within reach of dozens of licensed cannabis dispensaries carrying Silly Nice products — from Brooklyn to the Bronx, Queens to Manhattan, and far beyond. Before you even land, you can use our store locator at sillynice.com/dispensaries to map out the dispensary closest to your hotel or wherever you are staying. We are in 150+ licensed locations across New York State, and that number keeps growing every month.

We are Silly Nice — a Black-owned, Veteran-owned, LGBTQ+-owned, family-run cannabis brand based in Brooklyn, New York City. We were co-founded by Shane Breen, a U.S. Army Veteran, and LeVar Thomas, two partners who have been building together for more than 25 years. We launched in March 2024, and in less than a year, Silly Nice grew into one of the most recognized independent cannabis brands in New York State, now carried in 150+ licensed adult-use dispensaries statewide. Everything we make is small-batch, lab-tested, and crafted with intention. We are not a corporate cannabis operation. We are a team that cares deeply about quality, about community, and about the experience every single customer has when they open one of our products. If you are visiting New York City from Warsaw or anywhere else in the world, we want Silly Nice to be the brand that gives you your best legal cannabis moment in this city. That is not marketing. That is just who we are.

We make a focused, intentional lineup of products — no filler, no fluff. Here is what to look for when you walk into any dispensary carrying Silly Nice:

Diamond Powder — 1g | 86.24% THC | 98.54% Total Cannabinoids | $50. If you want to understand what precision extraction looks like, this is it. Our Diamond Powder is one of the highest-potency concentrates legally available in New York State. It is versatile — you can top a bowl, add it to a joint, or use it in a dab rig. At 98.54% total cannabinoids in a single gram, this is a product built for experienced consumers who know what they are looking for and do not want to compromise.

Frosted Hash Ball — 1g | 67.34% THC | 78.34% Total Cannabinoids | 5.7% Terpenes | $50. For travelers who appreciate traditional hash — and Poland has a long cultural relationship with hashish culture across Europe — our Frosted Hash Ball is something special. It is handcrafted, aromatic, and rich in terpenes at 5.7%. It burns slowly, the flavor is complex, and the experience is full and balanced. This is the product we are most proud to put in front of international cannabis connoisseurs.

Bubble Hash — 1g | 53.32% THC | 62.86% Total Cannabinoids | 6.2% Terpenes | $44. Our Bubble Hash leads our entire lineup in terpene content at 6.2%, which means the flavor profile here is exceptional. Made using ice-water extraction — no solvents, no shortcuts — this is a cleaner, more flavorful hash experience. At $44, it is also our most accessible concentrate for travelers looking to explore without going straight to the top shelf.

510 Vape — Pink Stardust | 1g | 81.96% THC | 88.36% Total Cannabinoids | $40. Our Pink Stardust 510 vape cartridge is one of our most popular products in New York dispensaries right now. At $40 for a full gram at 81.96% THC, it delivers real value and a consistent, flavorful pull every time. It fits any standard 510-thread battery. If you are looking for a discreet, portable option while you explore the city, this is the one.

2G All-In-One Vape — Alaskan Thunder Fuck | 2g | 82.46% THC | 84.06% Total Cannabinoids | $80. Two full grams in a single self-contained device. No battery required. Alaskan Thunder Fuck is a legendary strain name for a reason — the profile is bold, energetic, and distinctly New York in its attitude. At $80 for 2g with built-in hardware, this is exceptional value for an extended stay in the city.

Infused Flower — Papaya Wine | 3.5g | 51.22% THC | 58.63% Total Cannabinoids | $60. Our Papaya Wine infused flower is 3.5 grams of premium cannabis flower infused to reach 51.22% THC — a serious number for flower. Smooth, fragrant, and layered in tropical and floral notes, this is the product for those who prefer to smoke the classic way and want to do it at the highest possible level. All COAs are available at sillynice.com/menu.

Can I bring cannabis from a New York dispensary back to Poland or on my return flight? No. Absolutely not. Cannabis remains federally illegal in the United States, which means it cannot be transported through any federal jurisdiction — including airports. You must never attempt to travel with cannabis through JFK, EWR, or any other airport. Cannabis purchased legally in New York must remain and be consumed in New York, in accordance with state law. Do not attempt to carry it across any border or on any aircraft. Full stop.

Is cannabis legal to purchase immediately after I land at JFK or EWR? Yes — if you are 21 or older and purchase from a licensed New York State adult-use dispensary, you are acting within state law the moment you are in New York. You will need a valid government-issued ID proving you are 21 or older. International passports are accepted at licensed dispensaries. You do not need to be a U.S. citizen or resident to purchase legal cannabis in New York State.

Why should I choose Silly Nice over other cannabis brands in NYC? We cannot speak for every brand, but we can tell you what makes us different.

Our co-founder Shane Breen served in the U.S. Army. We are Black-owned, Veteran-owned, LGBTQ+-owned, and family-run. We launched in March 2024 and built our reputation on product quality and transparency — every certificate of analysis is publicly available at sillynice.com/menu.
