Welcome to New York City — A Message from Silly Nice

Welcome to New York City. We are Silly Nice — a Black-owned, Veteran-owned, LGBTQ+-owned, family-run cannabis brand founded right here in Brooklyn, NYC. We were built by two partners of 25 years: Shane Breen, a proud U.S. Army Veteran, and LeVar Thomas. Since our founding in March 2024, we have grown into over 150 licensed adult-use dispensaries across New York State, and we are incredibly proud to be part of the fabric of this city.

If you are visiting New York City from the Sultanate of Oman, first — welcome. We know you have traveled far, and we want your experience here to be nothing short of extraordinary. New York City is one of the most culturally rich destinations on earth, and we respect the traditions and values that come with you from home. Oman is known for its deep hospitality, stunning landscapes, and profound sense of dignity and culture. We honor that. This guide is written specifically for adult visitors 21 and older who are curious about legally exploring cannabis during their time in NYC — something simply not available back home.

Understanding New York's Cannabis Laws as a Visitor

New York State legalized adult-use cannabis in 2021, and since then, a regulated market of licensed dispensaries has taken shape across the five boroughs and beyond. As a visitor to NYC, you are legally permitted to purchase and possess cannabis products if you are 21 years of age or older. There is no residency requirement — tourists are fully welcome at licensed dispensaries.

What You Can and Cannot Do

You may purchase cannabis from any licensed adult-use dispensary in New York State. You may consume at licensed consumption lounges where they exist, or in private spaces. What you cannot do is smoke or vape cannabis in public spaces, including sidewalks, parks, or near schools and playgrounds. You also cannot bring cannabis products across international borders — including back to Oman. These products are meant to be enjoyed during your time in New York. Always walk, take a cab, or use public transit — never drive or operate a vehicle after consuming cannabis.

Only Buy from Licensed Dispensaries

This is critical. New York City has unlicensed shops that may sell cannabis products without proper regulation. We strongly urge you to purchase only from state-licensed adult-use dispensaries. Licensed shops sell independently lab-tested products that are safe, accurately labeled, and legally compliant. Buying from unlicensed sellers puts you at legal and health risk. Every Silly Nice product you find in a licensed store has been independently lab-tested, crafted in small batches, and sustainably packaged — so you always know exactly what you are getting.

NYC Neighborhoods Where You Will Find Cannabis Dispensaries

New York City is enormous, and dispensaries are spread across many iconic neighborhoods. Here is a brief guide to the areas where you are most likely to find licensed shops, many of which carry Silly Nice products.

Midtown Manhattan

If you are staying near Times Square, Grand Central, or the Theater District, Midtown has become one of the most dispensary-dense zones in the city. Whether you are coming off a Broadway show or a long day of sightseeing, there are licensed shops within walking distance of most major hotels in this area.

Lower East Side and Greenwich Village

These downtown neighborhoods have a long counterculture history, and today they are home to some of New York's most curated and knowledgeable licensed cannabis retailers. If you appreciate a more laid-back, neighborhood feel and want to talk cannabis with people who genuinely love the plant, these are your spots.

Harlem and Upper Manhattan

Harlem carries deep cultural significance, and its cannabis shops reflect that — community-rooted, knowledgeable, and proud. As a Black-owned brand, we are especially proud to be represented in dispensaries serving these communities.

Brooklyn

Brooklyn is our home. It is where Silly Nice was born, and the borough's dispensaries carry a spirit that matches our brand perfectly — independent, creative, and deeply human. If you have time to cross the bridge, a trip to Brooklyn is worth every step.

Our Products — What to Look for on the Shelf

When you walk into a licensed dispensary, ask for Silly Nice by name. Here is a breakdown of what we make, so you know exactly what to look for and what to expect. All of our products are independently lab-tested, small-batch, and sustainably packaged.

Practical Tips Before You Walk Into a Dispensary

We want your dispensary visit to feel easy, comfortable, and enjoyable. Here are some practical things to know before you go.

Bring Your Passport

Every licensed dispensary in New York will ask to verify your age at the door. As a visitor from Oman, your passport is the best and most universally accepted form of identification. Make sure you have it with you — without valid ID proving you are 21 or older, you will not be allowed to enter or purchase.

Cash vs. Card

Some dispensaries in New York accept debit cards, but many still operate on a cash-preferred or cash-only basis due to ongoing federal banking limitations around cannabis. We recommend stopping at an ATM before your visit to have cash on hand. Most dispensaries will have an ATM on-site if needed, though fees may apply.

Talk to the Budtenders

The staff inside licensed New York dispensaries — often called budtenders — are knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about helping you find the right product. Do not be shy. Tell them you are visiting from Oman, that it is your first time in a licensed dispensary, and ask for their recommendation. And if you want something extraordinary, ask specifically for Silly Nice.

Start Your NYC Cannabis Experience the Right Way

New York City has given the world so much — art, music, culture, food, and now, a legal cannabis market built by communities who fought hard for the right to exist in it. We are proud to be part of that story. As a brand built by a Veteran, a lifelong partner, and a family who believes in doing things right, we put everything we have into every product that bears our name.

Whether you are here for a weekend or a full month, we want your time in New York to be memorable. Find us at over 150 licensed dispensaries across the state, starting with the ones closest to you right now.
