Visiting New York City from Liechtenstein? Here's Where

We are Silly Nice — a Black-owned, Veteran-owned, LGBTQ+-owned, family-run cannabis brand founded right here in Brooklyn, New York. Our founders, Shane Breen, a U.S. Army Veteran, and LeVar Thomas, have been partners for 25 years, building something we're genuinely proud of: small-batch, lab-tested cannabis products made for people who actually care about quality. We launched in March 2024 and we're already in over 150 licensed adult-use dispensaries across New York State. So if you're flying in from Liechtenstein and you're curious about experiencing legal cannabis in one of the most exciting cities on the planet — you've come to exactly the right place.

Liechtenstein is one of the world's most distinctive countries — a tiny, landlocked principality nestled between Switzerland and Austria, known for its alpine beauty, financial sophistication, and deeply private culture. We imagine that trading the Rhine Valley for the skyline of Manhattan is quite the contrast. We love that contrast. New York City is loud, alive, and electric in ways that are hard to describe until you're standing in the middle of it. And now, thanks to New York's adult-use cannabis laws, visitors like you can experience a fully legal, licensed cannabis market while you're here — no gray areas, no sketchy encounters, just clean, tested product from brands like ours.

New York State legalized adult-use cannabis in 2021 under the Marihuana Regulation and Taxation Act, and since then, the licensed dispensary market has grown significantly. Here's what you need to know as a visitor from Liechtenstein: You must be 21 years of age or older to purchase cannabis legally in New York. A valid government-issued ID is required — your passport from Liechtenstein is perfectly acceptable. There are no restrictions on tourists purchasing cannabis from licensed adult-use dispensaries.

Where You Can and Cannot Consume

Public consumption of cannabis is not permitted in NYC. That means no smoking or vaping on sidewalks, in parks, near playgrounds, or in any public space where tobacco smoking is already prohibited. Some licensed cannabis consumption lounges have begun opening across the city, where you can legally enjoy cannabis on-site. If your hotel allows it, your private room may be an option — but always check hotel policy first. The safest and most enjoyable experience is typically at a lounge or a private indoor space. And of course, never consume cannabis and then get behind the wheel of any vehicle.

Licensed Dispensaries Only — Avoid the Unlicensed Market

New York City still has unlicensed cannabis sellers operating out of bodegas and street vendors. As a visitor, we strongly encourage you to avoid these entirely. Licensed dispensaries are regulated, their products are lab-tested, and your experience will be safe and legal. Every Silly Nice product sold at a licensed dispensary has been independently tested for potency, purity, and consistency. That's the experience you deserve.

We've made it incredibly simple to find us wherever you're staying in New York City. Our store locator on sillynice.com lists every licensed dispensary currently carrying our products — and with over 150 locations across New York State, including dozens throughout the five boroughs and greater NYC area, there's a very good chance there's one close to your hotel right now.

Just enter your address, hotel name, or neighborhood into the locator, and it will show you the nearest dispensaries carrying our products. We recommend checking ahead of time because dispensary hours vary, and some neighborhoods have more options than others. Planning ahead means less time searching and more time enjoying the city.

New York City's cannabis dispensary scene is growing fast, and certain neighborhoods have become especially well-served. Here's a quick guide to where you're most likely to find licensed shops during your visit.

Midtown Manhattan

If you're staying near Times Square, the Theater District, or Rockefeller Center, you'll find licensed dispensaries within walking distance. Midtown is convenient for visitors staying in major hotels, and the dispensaries here tend to be well-staffed and comfortable for first-time legal cannabis shoppers.

Lower East Side and Greenwich Village

Downtown Manhattan — particularly the Lower East Side and Greenwich Village — has a rich cultural history with cannabis, dating back decades. Today, that legacy lives on in a cluster of some of the city's most thoughtfully curated licensed dispensaries. These neighborhoods are walkable, vibrant, and full of great food and music if you want to make a full evening of it.

Harlem and Upper Manhattan

Harlem is home to some of the most community-rooted dispensaries in the city. As a brand that deeply believes in equity and community representation in the cannabis industry, we're proud to have our products carried in this part of the city. If you're heading uptown to visit the Apollo Theater or Central Park, look up a nearby dispensary on our store locator.

Brooklyn

Brooklyn is our home. It's where Silly Nice was built, and where our founders have deep roots. If you make the trip across the bridge — which we genuinely recommend for any visitor to NYC — you'll find some of the most diverse and well-stocked dispensaries in the state, many of which carry our full product lineup. Do it for the borough.

When you walk into a licensed dispensary and see Silly Nice on the shelf, here's what you'll find — and what we think is worth your attention, especially if you're looking for something truly exceptional to experience while you're in New York or take home as a one-of-a-kind souvenir.

Concentrates and Hash — Something Liechtenstein Hasn't Seen Quite Like This

Our Diamond Powder is a 1-gram concentrate testing at 86.24% THC and 98.54% total cannabinoids, priced at $50. It's a pure, crystalline concentrate meant for experienced consumers who want maximum potency. Our Frosted Hash Ball is a 1-gram hand-rolled hash product with 67.34% THC, 78.34% total cannabinoids, and an impressive 5.7% terpene content — priced at $50. It's aromatic, flavorful, and a genuine nod to traditional hash-making elevated to a modern standard. And our Bubble Hash — 1 gram at 53.32% THC, 62.86% total cannabinoids, and 6.2% terpenes, priced at $44 — is solventless, full-spectrum, and rich with flavor. These concentrates are the kinds of products that don't exist everywhere in the world. Finding them in a licensed New York dispensary is genuinely special.

Vapes — The Most Travel-Convenient Option

If you're thinking about discretion and ease of use during your stay, our vape products are worth a close look. Our 510 Vape in Pink Stardust is a 1-gram cartridge at 81.96% THC and 88.36% total cannabinoids, priced at $40. Our 2G All-in-One in Alaskan Thunder Fuck is a 2-gram device at 82.46% THC and 84.06% total cannabinoids, priced at $80 — no battery required, no extra setup. Both are discreet, portable, and consistent. Please remember: vapes are for private use only, not for public spaces or transportation.

Infused Flower

Diamond-Frosted & Live Resin Infused Flower

Our Infused Flower in Papaya Wine comes in a 3.5-gram jar at 51.22% THC and 58.63% total cannabinoids, priced at $60. It's our craft flower elevated with additional concentrate for an exceptional experience. If you're a flower person, this is our love letter to the art form.

Walking into a legal dispensary for the first time in another country can feel a little unfamiliar. Here's everything you need to know to make the experience smooth and enjoyable.

Bring Your Passport

Every licensed dispensary in New York will ask for valid government-issued ID proving you are 21 or older. Your Liechtenstein passport is a perfectly valid form of identification. Don't leave it at the hotel — bring it with you every time.

Cash Versus Card

Due to federal banking regulations in the United States, many cannabis dispensaries are cash-only or have limited card processing available. Some dispensaries have ATMs on-site. We recommend carrying some cash when you visit, just to be safe. Check the dispensary's website or call ahead to confirm their payment options before you go.

What to Expect Inside

Most NYC dispensaries have knowledgeable staff called budtenders who can walk you through every product on the menu. Don't hesitate to ask questions — they're there to help. Tell them you're visiting from Liechtenstein, that you heard about Silly Nice, and ask to see what we have in stock. Dispensaries vary in size and vibe — some feel like boutique retail shops, others are more clinical. Either way, the experience is safe, professional, and welcoming.

What You Can Buy and Take

Adults 21+ can purchase up to 3 ounces of cannabis flower or 24 grams of concentrate per transaction in New York. Please be aware that cannabis products cannot be transported across international borders — do not attempt to take cannabis products back to Liechtenstein or onto an international flight. Your purchase is meant for your enjoyment during your time in New York State.

We started Silly Nice because we believed there was room in this industry for a brand built on authenticity, quality, and community — not just marketing. Shane's military service, our 25 years of partnership, our Brooklyn roots, and our commitment to every single independently lab-tested batch — that's not a story we invented for a website. It's who we are. When you walk into a dispensary in New York City and pick up a Silly Nice product, you're supporting something real. A small, family-run brand that worked hard to earn its place on those shelves.

Whether you're here for a weekend or a full month, we hope New York City treats you well — and we hope Silly Nice becomes a memorable part of your visit. Use our store locator to find the dispensary nearest to you right now, bring your passport, bring some cash, and come experience what legal cannabis looks like when it's done right. From Brooklyn to Liechtenstein and everywhere in between — welcome to New York. We're glad you're here.
