The Capital Region doesn’t move recklessly.

Albany is where policy is written.

Where decisions are debated.

Where industries are shaped.

Where the direction of New York State is influenced.§/P§

From Albany to Schenectady, Clifton Park to Latham, Glens Falls to Cohoes, this region operates with structure and accountability.

Silly Nice belongs here because that’s how we operate too.

We’re proud to be available across Albany and the Capital Region — not as a high-volume brand chasing shelf space, but as a small-batch, Black-owned, Veteran-owned cannabis company focused on quality, transparency, and long-term trust.

The Capital Region Expects Accountability

Albany residents understand regulation.

They understand compliance.

They understand oversight.

They understand policy.§/P§

New York’s legal cannabis market is still evolving. There are hundreds of licensed brands operating across the state. Not all of them approach production the same way.

Some focus on scale.

Some focus on rapid expansion.

Some focus on pricing competition.§/P§

Silly Nice focuses on standards.

We produce in small batches.

We produce fresh.

We maintain oversight at every stage.

We lab-test every product.§/P§

In a region where structure matters, that alignment is important.

Built From Real-World Need

Silly Nice wasn’t created because legalization made cannabis profitable.

Cannabis became part of our life in 2001 to manage chronic pain following U.S. Army service. It began as a functional tool — not a lifestyle accessory.

In 2002, we traveled to Amsterdam to understand traditional hash-making techniques and terpene preservation. That experience reshaped our expectations of quality and craftsmanship.

We’ve returned annually since to stay connected to the roots of the plant.

The Capital Region respects people who know their craft. That foundation drives how we operate.

Black-Owned. Veteran-Owned. New York-Based.

The Capital Region values service.

Silly Nice is Veteran-owned. That background informs how we run the company: disciplined, structured, deliberate.

We are also Black-owned and family-operated. We remain hands-on in oversight and quality control. We don’t outsource accountability.

Reputation matters here.

Consistency matters here.
