Visiting New York City from North Macedonia? Here's

Whether you've flown in from Skopje, Bitola, or anywhere across North Macedonia, welcome to New York City. We know you're arriving from a country with a rich cultural heritage — a land of ancient history, vibrant bazaars, and a deeply social way of life where community and hospitality matter. That's something we understand deeply at Silly Nice. We're Shane Breen and LeVar Thomas, two partners of 25 years, Brooklyn-born and bred, who founded this brand in March 2024 with a simple mission: bring world-class, small-batch cannabis products to the people of New York — and to every visitor who walks through our city's doors.

We are a Black-owned, Veteran-owned, LGBTQ+-owned, family-run cannabis brand based right here in Brooklyn, NYC. If you're 21 or older and curious about experiencing New York's legal cannabis scene during your visit, you've found the right guide. Let us walk you through everything you need to know.

New York State legalized adult-use cannabis in 2021, and today, licensed dispensaries across the five boroughs — and beyond — legally sell cannabis products to adults 21 and older. This is a regulated, legal market, and purchasing from a licensed dispensary is the safest, most reliable way to enjoy cannabis during your visit to NYC.

Where You Can and Cannot Consume

New York law permits cannabis consumption in many of the same places cigarette smoking is allowed — meaning certain outdoor areas, private spaces, and licensed cannabis consumption lounges. However, public smoking in parks, near schools, on subway platforms, or in front of businesses is prohibited and can result in fines. Always be mindful of your surroundings and respect the rules of wherever you're staying. If your hotel is smoke-free, do not consume in your room. And please — never consume cannabis and then get behind the wheel of a vehicle. Always use public transit, rideshare, or walk.

Buying From Licensed Dispensaries Only

We cannot stress this enough: only purchase cannabis from licensed adult-use dispensaries. These are state-licensed storefronts staffed by trained professionals called budtenders. Products sold here are independently lab-tested for potency, purity, and safety. You will never have to worry about what's in your product when you buy from a licensed shop. Street sellers and unlicensed shops — sometimes called 'gray market' — are illegal, unregulated, and risky. Stick to the legal market. You deserve the real thing.

Our products are currently available in 150+ licensed New York adult-use dispensaries statewide — and many of them are right in the neighborhoods where most visitors from North Macedonia will be staying or exploring. Finding us is simple.

Head to our store locator at sillynice.com/store-locator and enter your current location, hotel address, or the neighborhood you're visiting. The tool will show you the nearest licensed dispensaries carrying Silly Nice products. We update this regularly as our distribution continues to grow across New York.

Key NYC Neighborhoods With Dispensary Clusters

New York's dispensary scene is spread across many iconic neighborhoods. If you're staying in Midtown Manhattan — near Times Square, the Empire State Building, or the Theater District — you'll find licensed shops within walking distance. The Lower East Side and Greenwich Village have long been hubs for countercultural creativity, and today they host some of the city's most well-curated dispensaries. Harlem, historically one of the most important Black cultural corridors in the world, also has a growing number of licensed shops — many of them community-owned, just like us. And of course, Brooklyn — our home — has dispensaries throughout Williamsburg, Crown Heights, Flatbush, and beyond. Wherever your itinerary takes you in NYC, a licensed shop carrying Silly Nice is likely nearby.

If this is your first time visiting a legal cannabis dispensary, don't worry — it's a welcoming, professional environment. Here's what to expect:

Bring Your Passport

As an international visitor, your passport is your best form of ID. Every dispensary is required by law to verify that customers are 21 or older before making any sale. Present your passport at the door — this is standard and nothing to be nervous about. Some dispensaries may have a brief check-in process before you access the sales floor.

Cash vs. Card

Due to federal banking restrictions, many cannabis dispensaries still operate primarily in cash. It's a good idea to have cash on hand before you visit. Some locations have ATMs on-site or nearby. That said, a growing number of dispensaries now accept debit cards through cashless ATM systems. When in doubt, bring cash — it's always accepted.

Talk to Your Budtender

Budtenders are knowledgeable, friendly staff who are there to help you find the right product for your experience. Don't be shy. Tell them what you're looking for — whether it's something smooth and flavorful, something potent and concentrated, or something easy to travel with. Ask for Silly Nice by name, and let them guide you to the product that fits your vibe.

At Silly Nice, every product we make is independently lab-tested, small-batch crafted, and sustainably packaged. We believe quality is non-negotiable. Here's a look at our current lineup — all available at licensed dispensaries across NYC.

Concentrates and Hash — A Category We're Proud Of

We know that hash has deep cultural roots in parts of Europe and the broader Mediterranean world — North Macedonia included. Our hash products are crafted with the same respect for the plant and the craft that has defined hashish traditions for centuries, elevated by modern extraction methods and rigorous lab testing.

Our Frosted Hash Ball (1g, 67.34% THC, 78.34% total cannabinoids, 5.7% terpenes, $50) is one of our most beloved products. Rolled by hand, rich in terpenes, and bursting with flavor, it's a premium hash experience unlike anything on the unlicensed market. Our Bubble Hash (1g, 53.32% THC, 62.86% total cannabinoids, 6.2% terpenes, $44) is made using an ice-water extraction process that preserves the plant's full terpene profile — earthy, aromatic, and deeply satisfying. And for those who want the purest, most potent concentrate available, our Diamond Powder (1g, 86.24% THC, 98.54% total cannabinoids, $50) is a crystalline powerhouse ideal for experienced consumers.

Vapes — Perfect for Discreet, Travel-Friendly Enjoyment

If you prefer something sleek, portable, and easy to manage during a busy NYC trip, our vape lineup is for you. Our Pink Stardust 510 Vape Cartridge (1g, 81.96% THC, 88.36% total cannabinoids, $40) pairs beautifully with any 510-thread battery and delivers a smooth, consistent experience. For those who want the ultimate all-in-one convenience, our Alaskan Thunder Fuck 2G All-In-One Vape (2g, 82.46% THC, 84.06% total cannabinoids, $80) is ready to use right out of the box — no battery required. It's bold, it's powerful, and it's a true NYC souvenir worth bringing home in spirit.

Infused Flower

Diamond-Frosted & Live Resin Infused Flower

Our Papaya Wine Infused Flower (3.5g, 51.22% THC, 58.63% total cannabinoids, $60) is for those who love the ritual of flower but want something elevated. This is premium indoor flower infused and frosted to deliver an experience that is tropical, smooth, and unforgettable.
