Why New Paltz Deserves This Kind of Quality

New Paltz has always had a distinct energy — creative, independent, deeply connected to the land and to community. It's a town that supports local, celebrates authenticity, and doesn't have much patience for brands that are all hype and no substance. That's exactly who we built Silly Nice for. We didn't build this brand to sit on a shelf with flashy packaging and hollow promises. We built it for people who read lab reports, who care what's in their product, and who want to support something real.

We make a focused, intentional product lineup — nothing filler, nothing random. Every SKU we carry has been crafted with precision and tested independently. Here's what you should be looking for at your local licensed dispensary near New Paltz. These aren't approximations — every number you see here is pulled directly from our lab results, available in full at sillynice.com/menu.

Concentrates for the Connoisseur

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 the highest-potency product in our lineup and one of the most refined concentrates in the entire New York market. It's versatile: top your bowl, enhance a joint, or dab it on its own. For those who know concentrates, the numbers speak for themselves.

Our Frosted Hash Ball is a 1-gram handmade artisanal concentrate at 67.34% THC, 78.34% total cannabinoids, and 5.7% terpenes — also $50. This is slow-craft cannabis in the truest sense. Every Frosted Hash Ball is made by hand, and that 5.7% terpene content means the flavor profile is just as powerful as the effect. Then there's our Bubble Hash — 1 gram at 53.32% THC, 62.86% total cannabinoids, and 6.2% terpenes, priced at $44. Made using ice-water solventless extraction, this is one of the cleanest ways to experience cannabis at high potency. That 6.2% terpene count is exceptional — it's what makes the difference between something that gets you there and something that takes you on a full journey.

Infused Flower

Diamond-Frosted & Live Resin Infused Flower

If you prefer flower, our Infused Flower in the Papaya Wine strain is 3.5 grams at 51.22% THC and 58.63% total cannabinoids, priced at $60. We infuse premium flower with live resin and THCa diamonds — meaning the effect is layered, full, and long-lasting. Papaya Wine brings a tropical, wine-forward terpene profile that pairs beautifully with a Hudson Valley evening. This is not your standard infused pre-roll situation. This is whole-flower, elevated.

The vape category is crowded with junk — mystery oil, artificial terpenes, hardware that leaks or dies after two uses. We built ours differently. Our 510 Vape in Pink Stardust is 1 gram at 81.96% THC and 88.36% total cannabinoids, priced at $40. Every terpene in that cartridge is 100% cannabis-derived — no botanical stand-ins, no synthetic flavoring. The hardware is reliable, the draw is smooth, and the effect is clean. At $40 for a gram of this quality, it's one of the strongest value propositions in the New York market.

2G All-In-One

2G All-In-One Vape — Alaskan Thunder Fuck

For those who don't want to worry about batteries, our 2G All-In-One in Alaskan Thunder Fuck is 2 grams at 82.46% THC and 84.06% total cannabinoids, priced at $80. It's rechargeable via USB-C, so it won't die on you mid-session. At $40 per gram for this potency and convenience, the math makes sense. Alaskan Thunder Fuck is a legendary strain name for a reason — the uplifting, energetic terpene character is unmistakable. Whether you're hiking the Shawangunk Ridge or catching live music in town, this is a companion that delivers.

We're Shane Breen and LeVar Thomas — co-founders, partners for 25+ years, and the people behind every decision Silly Nice makes. Shane's service in the U.S. Army shaped how we think about accountability, precision, and showing up for your community without excuses. LeVar brings an eye for culture, craft, and connection that keeps us honest about who we're building for. Together, we launched Silly Nice in March 2024, and we've been moving fast ever since — but never at the cost of quality.

Silly Nice is Black-owned, Veteran-owned, LGBTQ+-owned, and family-run. In a New York cannabis market that has seen its share of corporate consolidation and out-of-state capital flooding in, we represent something different: a brand that belongs to New York, built by New Yorkers, for New Yorkers from every zip code — including the Hudson Valley. When you buy Silly Nice at a dispensary near New Paltz, you're supporting a small business that reinvests in the communities that support it.

The Small-Batch Standard We Hold Ourselves To

We don't produce at scale just because we could. Small-batch means we control every variable — from terpene retention to packaging integrity. It means the 1-gram Frosted Hash Ball you pick up in New Paltz today was made with the same care as the one a customer grabbed in Harlem last week. We publish our COAs publicly at sillynice.com/menu because transparency isn't optional for us — it's the whole point. You should know exactly what you're buying. Every time.

We're in 150+ licensed adult-use dispensaries across New York State, including locations serving the Hudson Valley and New Paltz corridor. The easiest way to find us is through our dispensary locator at sillynice.com/dispensaries — just put in your location and you'll see which stores near you carry our products. We update this in real time as new retail partners come on board, so check back often.

A note for anyone new to the licensed market: always buy from a state-licensed adult-use or medical dispensary. Licensed stores are required to carry products that have passed state testing and compliance review. Our products are only sold through licensed New York dispensaries — never through unlicensed channels. Your safety matters, and the legal market is where Silly Nice lives.

Ask for Silly Nice by Name

Sometimes the best thing you can do is walk into your local dispensary and ask: Do you carry Silly Nice? Budtenders across New York know our name, and if a store near you doesn't carry us yet, your ask creates demand. We're actively expanding our retail footprint in the Hudson Valley, and New Paltz is exactly the kind of community we want to serve deeper. Your voice matters. Use it.

New Paltz sits at an intersection that feels tailor-made for what Silly Nice represents: a progressive, arts-forward, community-rooted place that values craft and authenticity. From the Gunks to the Main Street gallery scene, from the SUNY campus to the farmers' market — this is a town that appreciates things made with intention. That's exactly how we make our cannabis. Every product. Every batch. Every time.

Whether you're reaching for our Diamond Powder at 86.24% THC for a concentrated experience, loading a bowl with our Bubble Hash at 6.2% terpenes, or taking a long draw off the Pink Stardust 510 Vape after a day on the trail — we want it to feel worth it. We want it to feel like something a real brand made for real people. Because that's exactly what it is. Silly Nice was built for adults 21 and up who are done settling. New Paltz, we see you. Come find us.

Walk down Main Street in New Paltz on a Friday night and you'll see a different town than the one that existed before March 2021, when New York legalized adult-use cannabis. Back then, options were limited to whatever you could find through word of mouth or a trip into the city. Today, licensed dispensaries dot the Hudson Valley from Kingston to Poughkeepsie, and SUNY New Paltz students, farmers market regulars, and longtime residents alike have real, tested choices for the first time in the state's history.

That shift matters because it changed what people expect from a cannabis product. New Paltz shoppers aren't just asking what's available — they're asking what's in it. Certificates of Analysis, terpene percentages, extraction methods: these used to be insider language. Now they're standard questions at the counter. Silly Nice built its entire model around answering those questions before customers even ask, which is part of why our Bubble Hash and Diamond Powder have found a home in dispensaries throughout Ulster County.

A good budtender in New Paltz will talk to you like a neighbor, not a salesperson. Ask them directly: is this batch independently lab-tested, and can I see the results? Ask about terpene content, not just THC percentage — a 6.2% terpene profile, like the one in our Bubble Hash, tells you far more about the actual experience than potency alone ever could. If the person behind the counter can't answer, that's information too.

Hudson Valley dispensaries move fast, and popular small-batch items don't always sit on shelves for long. If you're specifically looking for Silly Nice — our Frosted Hash Ball, Infused Flower, or either vape option — it's worth calling ahead or checking sillynice.com/menu to confirm which New Paltz-area location has current stock before you make the trip.

New York's legal cannabis market has expanded fast, and with growth comes a flood of mass-produced products chasing shelf space. Small-batch production, the kind we practice at Silly Nice, means slower output but far greater consistency — every Frosted Hash Ball is still made by hand, batch by batch, rather than pushed through an assembly line. For a Hudson Valley customer base that values craftsmanship in everything from cider to woodworking, that distinction resonates.

It also means accountability. When a brand produces in small quantities, there's nowhere to hide a bad batch behind volume. That's the standard we hold ourselves to at every dispensary carrying our menu near New Paltz.
