Silly Nice Has Arrived in Ithaca — and We Came Correct
If you're in Ithaca, NY and searching for premium cannabis from a Black-owned, Veteran-owned brand with verified lab results, small-batch craftsmanship, and products that actually live up to the hype — Silly Nice is now available at licensed adult-use dispensaries near you. We launched in March 2024 out of Brooklyn, NYC, and in just over a year, we've placed our products in 150+ licensed New York adult-use dispensaries statewide. Ithaca is part of that story now, and we don't take that lightly.
We are Shane Breen and LeVar Thomas — co-founders, partners for 25 years, and the heartbeat behind everything Silly Nice represents. Shane is a U.S. Army Veteran. Together, we built this brand as a family-run operation rooted in New York City culture, community accountability, and an uncompromising commitment to quality. When we say small-batch, we mean it. When we say lab-tested, we mean every product has a Certificate of Analysis you can read yourself at sillynice.com/menu. We don't do mystery weed. We do transparent, intentional cannabis — for adults 21 and up who deserve to know exactly what they're consuming.
Why Ithaca's Cannabis Culture Resonates With Us
Ithaca isn't just a college town. It's a community with a long history of progressive values, independent thinking, and genuine respect for craft — whether that's local food, art, activism, or cannabis. The kind of people who live and thrive in Ithaca are the same people who read ingredient labels, ask about sourcing, and care about who made the thing they're buying. That's our people. That's always been our people.
New York's adult-use cannabis market is still young, and the brands that will endure are the ones rooted in authenticity — not just aesthetics. We built Silly Nice to reflect what we believe cannabis culture in New York should look like: diverse, quality-driven, community-forward, and unapologetically real. Ithaca's cannabis consumers are discerning. They know the difference between a product that's been rushed to market and one that's been carefully crafted. We're proud to bring our full lineup to a community that will truly appreciate what's inside every package.
Cannabis Culture at the Intersection of Education and Experience
Ithaca is home to some of the most intellectually curious adults in the state. Cannabis culture here isn't just recreational — it's a conversation. People want to understand terpene profiles, cannabinoid ratios, and extraction methods. That curiosity matches exactly how we approach product development. We build products that reward the consumer who asks questions. If you want to know why our Bubble Hash has 6.2% terpene content, we'll tell you — because we selected strains and used ice-water solventless extraction specifically to preserve the volatile aromatic compounds that give the experience its character. That's not marketing. That's craft.

The Silly Nice Products Now Available Near Ithaca
We offer a focused, intentional lineup — not a hundred SKUs competing with each other, but a curated set of products each designed to be the best in its category. Here's what you can find at licensed dispensaries in and around Ithaca, and what makes each one worth your attention.
Diamond Powder
Our Diamond Powder is 1 gram of ultra-refined THCa crystalline at 86.24% THC and 98.54% total cannabinoids — priced at $50. This is for adults who want precision. It's nearly pure cannabinoid content, and it can be used to top flower, added to a dab rig, or dissolved into another medium. There is nothing imprecise about this product. It is the result of meticulous refinement, and the COA backs every number. The Frosted Hash Ball is something different — it's art. Handmade, 1 gram, 67.34% THC, 78.34% total cannabinoids, and 5.7% terpenes. At $50, it's a slow-burning, full-spectrum experience that pays homage to traditional hashmaking while delivering the potency of modern cannabis cultivation. The terpene content here is not incidental — 5.7% is exceptional, and you'll notice it the moment you open the package. This is the kind of product that starts conversations.

Bubble Hash
Our Bubble Hash at $44 is a 1-gram solventless concentrate made using ice-water extraction — no solvents, no shortcuts. It comes in at 53.32% THC, 62.86% total cannabinoids, and a terpene content of 6.2%. That 6.2% is among the highest in our lineup and one of the key reasons Bubble Hash remains one of our most-requested products by consumers who prioritize the full-plant experience over raw THC numbers alone. For adults who love flavor, aroma, and nuance, this is the product we'd put on a pedestal.

Flower and Vapes That Don't Cut Corners
Not everyone is a concentrate person — and we respect that. Our Infused Flower and vape options were built with the same exacting standards as everything else in our lineup, because we believe the format shouldn't determine the quality.
Diamond-Frosted & Live Resin Infused Flower
Our Papaya Wine Infused Flower comes in at 3.5 grams, 51.22% THC, and 58.63% total cannabinoids — priced at $60. It's premium flower infused with live resin and THCa diamonds. The Papaya Wine cultivar brings a tropical, wine-forward terpene expression that pairs beautifully with the potency boost from the infusion process. This is not just flower with something sprayed on it — the infusion is integrated with care, and the result is a product that burns evenly, tastes complex, and delivers an experience adult consumers in Ithaca will remember.

510 Thread Vape — Pink Stardust
Our Pink Stardust 510 Vape is 1 gram at 81.96% THC and 88.36% total cannabinoids — $40. It's made with 100% cannabis-derived terpenes, which means the flavor profile is drawn from the plant itself, not from added botanical extracts. That distinction matters to us and to anyone who has tasted the difference. For something with more staying power, our Alaskan Thunder Fuck 2G All-In-One is 2 grams at 82.46% THC and 84.06% total cannabinoids — $80, rechargeable via USB-C, and built to last. Whether you're exploring Ithaca's gorges, hanging on the Commons, or settling in for a quiet evening at home, these vapes are designed for the adult New Yorker on the move.

Black-Owned, Veteran-Owned — What That Means in Practice
We don't lead with our ownership identity as a marketing tactic. We lead with it because it's the truth of who we are, and because it shapes every decision we make — from how we price our products to which dispensaries we partner with to how we treat the people on our team. Silly Nice is Black-owned, Veteran-owned, LGBTQ+-owned, and family-run. Shane Breen served in the U.S. Army. We've been partners for 25 years. We launched this brand in March 2024 because we believed New York's cannabis market deserved a premium option that looked like the communities it serves.
When you buy Silly Nice at a licensed dispensary in Ithaca, you are supporting a brand that reinvests in its community, operates with transparency, and holds itself accountable to the people who matter most — our customers. We are not a faceless corporate label. We are two people who put our names, our reputations, and our history on every product that leaves our hands. That accountability is built into the DNA of Silly Nice, and it shows up in every COA, every small-batch run, and every piece of sustainable packaging.
Representation in New York's Cannabis Industry
The legal cannabis industry in New York is still writing its history, and we intend to be part of that story in a meaningful way. Too many communities — including communities of color, veterans, and LGBTQ+ New Yorkers — bore the weight of cannabis prohibition for decades and now deserve to participate in the legal market as owners, operators, and leaders. We built Silly Nice as a living example of what's possible when those communities are given access and choose to compete on quality. Ithaca, with its progressive legacy and commitment to equity, feels like exactly the right place to extend that presence.
How to Find Silly Nice in Ithaca — and What to Look For
With 150+ licensed New York adult-use dispensaries now carrying our products, finding Silly Nice near Ithaca is easier than ever. Our dispensary locator at sillynice.com/dispensaries is the most current resource — it's updated regularly as new retail partners come on board. When you walk into a dispensary and ask for Silly Nice, you should expect to see our products clearly labeled with strain names, exact THC percentages, and product weights. If a dispensary can't show you that information, that's a signal worth noting.
We always recommend asking your budtender about current inventory before making the trip. Cannabis retail moves quickly, and small-batch products like our Frosted Hash Ball and Bubble Hash can move faster than expected at popular dispensaries. Checking the menu ahead of time saves frustration and helps you plan your purchase with intention. Adults 21 and over can purchase at any licensed New York adult-use dispensary carrying our line — no medical card required.
Verifying Lab Results Before You Buy
Every Silly Nice product is independently lab-tested, and every Certificate of Analysis is publicly available at sillynice.com/menu. We believe that an informed consumer is the best consumer, and we make it easy for you to verify every number you see on our packaging before you spend a dollar. The THC percentages, total cannabinoid profiles, and terpene data cited in this article are drawn directly from those COAs — nothing is approximated or rounded for convenience. What you see is what's in the product.
