Silly Nice in New York City: Craft Cannabis for a City That Demands More

Written By Shane Breen

New York City Moves Fast. Your Cannabis Should Move With Intention.

New York City doesn’t reward average.

It doesn’t reward shortcuts. It doesn’t reward laziness. And it definitely doesn’t reward products that can’t stand on their own.

That’s why Silly Nice belongs here.

Silly Nice is proud to be available across New York City — from Manhattan to Brooklyn, Queens to the Bronx, Staten Island to Harlem. This isn’t just another retail footprint for us. This is home turf. This is culture. This is where expectations are high and standards are higher.

New York City is layered. It’s corporate and creative. It’s blue-collar and executive. It’s artists, veterans, entrepreneurs, nurses, students, parents, night-shift workers, and early-morning commuters. Cannabis here isn’t recreational fluff. It’s functional. It’s restorative. It’s intentional.

That’s how we built Silly Nice.

Why Craft Cannabis Matters in NYC

New York City has options. In every category. In every industry.

Cannabis is no different.

There are hundreds of licensed brands competing for attention in New York State. Many are large-scale operators built for volume. Mass production. Fast turnover. Shelf dominance.

Silly Nice chose a different route.

We are small-batch by design.

We produce fresh to order. We don’t warehouse product for months. We don’t cut corners to hit pricing tiers. We don’t dilute quality to chase margins.

New Yorkers know the difference between something made for everyone and something made with intention.

Craft cannabis in NYC matters because:

  • Stress levels are high

  • Work demands are constant

  • Commutes are long

  • Creativity runs deep

  • Sleep is often sacrificed

Quality matters here because life here is intense.

The Foundation: Lived Experience

Silly Nice wasn’t created by investors looking for a trend.

Cannabis became part of our life in 2001 as a way to manage chronic neck and back pain following service in the U.S. Army. It started as a tool. A way to function. A way to reduce reliance on pharmaceuticals.

In 2002, a trip to Amsterdam changed our understanding of what cannabis could be when treated with care and respect. Traditional hash culture. Terpene-forward flower. Technique passed down through generations.

We return every year. Not for tourism. For education. For history. For craft.

Cannabis has also been part of our family across generations. A grandmother used cannabis balms for pain. A mother uses cannabis for rest and recovery today. That perspective matters.

Silly Nice is built from lived experience. Not branding strategy.

Black-Owned. Veteran-Owned. Family-Run.

New York City understands ownership.

It understands representation. It understands resilience.

Silly Nice is a Black-owned, Veteran-owned cannabis brand built and operated by a small family team in New York. That isn’t a label for marketing. It’s our structure.

We operate lean.
We produce intentionally.
We maintain oversight.
We stay connected to the product.

In a city where authenticity is everything, that matters.

The Products: Built for NYC Sessions

New Yorkers don’t want gimmicks. They want performance.

Let’s break down what makes each Silly Nice product belong in this city.

Diamond Powder

Ultra-Pure Precision for the Experienced

In a city that runs on control and customization, this product fits naturally.

Hash has heritage. And NYC understands heritage.

The Frosted Hash Ball tests at 67.34% THC with a 5.7% terpene profile including Beta-Caryophyllene, Limonene, Myrcene, Pinene, and more.

This is for slower sessions.

Sustainability in a City That Creates Waste

New York produces volume. Packaging waste is real.

That’s why:

  • Our jars are recycled glass

  • Our lids use ocean-bound plastic

  • Our packaging is hemp-based

Sustainability isn’t branding. It’s responsibility.

If we’re going to operate in NYC, we do it consciously.
