Why More Than Half of Silly Nice Customers Are 65+ — And What That Says About Trust

Trust is not something older adults give easily. It is earned through consistency, transparency, and lived experience. In New York’s legal cannabis market, where hundreds of brands compete for attention, trust has become the deciding factor for many seniors.

At Silly Nice, more than 50 percent of customers are 65 and older. That number did not happen by accident. It reflects how older adults choose cannabis and what they value most when deciding which brand to bring into their lives.

This article explains why seniors gravitate toward Silly Nice and what that choice reveals about how trust is built in modern cannabis.

Seniors Choose Cannabis Differently

Older adults are not impulse buyers. They are careful. They read labels. They ask questions. They want to know where a product comes from and how it is made.

When seniors choose cannabis, they tend to prioritize:

  • Safety and consistency

  • Lab testing and transparency

  • Clear labeling and predictable effects

  • Brands with real history and accountability

This approach mirrors how many seniors already make decisions about food, medicine, and wellness.

Silly Nice aligns naturally with that mindset.

Trust Starts With Transparency

One of the most common reasons seniors cite for choosing Silly Nice is transparency.

Every Silly Nice product is:

  • Lab tested by licensed facilities

  • Accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis

  • Clearly labeled with cannabinoid content

  • Free from mystery ingredients or shortcuts

All lab results and COAs are publicly available at:

For older adults, this level of openness removes uncertainty and builds confidence. They know exactly what they are consuming before they ever use it.

Lived Experience Matters More Than Marketing

Many cannabis brands are built around trends. Silly Nice was built around lived experience.

Cannabis has been part of this journey since 2001, originally used to manage chronic neck and back pain stemming from military service in the U.S. Army. Over time, its role expanded beyond personal use and became part of family care.

Multiple generations have relied on cannabis for rest, comfort, and balance. That long-term relationship with the plant shapes how Silly Nice approaches everything it makes today.

Older adults recognize that difference. They trust brands that feel grounded rather than manufactured.

Small-Batch Production Builds Confidence

Seniors often associate quality with care. Mass production can feel impersonal. Small-batch production feels intentional.

Silly Nice produces cannabis in small batches, fresh to order. This approach allows for:

  • Better quality control

  • Greater consistency

  • Fresher product

  • A closer connection between maker and consumer

For older adults who value reliability, this production style feels familiar and reassuring.

Potency With Purpose, Not Excess

Another reason seniors trust Silly Nice is how potency is handled.

Silly Nice does not frame potency as something to chase. It is treated as something to manage carefully. Strong products are designed to be used slowly, in small amounts, with intention.

Many seniors prefer this approach because it allows them to:

  • Use less product

  • Maintain control over their experience

  • Avoid feeling overwhelmed

  • Build predictable routines

Potency becomes a tool, not a risk.

Sustainability Reflects Long-Term Thinking

Older adults often care deeply about responsibility and stewardship. They have lived long enough to see the consequences of waste and short-term thinking.

Silly Nice packaging reflects those values:

  • Recycled glass jars

  • Ocean-bound plastic lids

  • Hemp-based materials

Sustainability is treated as a responsibility, not a marketing claim. That matters to seniors who think about the world they leave behind.

Familiar Values in a Modern Market

Many seniors returning to cannabis are not looking for novelty. They are looking for something that feels familiar in values, even if the market itself is new.

They want:

  • Honesty

  • Craftsmanship

  • Care

  • Respect for the plant

  • Respect for the consumer

Silly Nice reflects those values in how it operates, how it communicates, and how it treats its customers.

Finding Silly Nice in New York

Because Silly Nice products are produced in small batches and often sell out, availability can change.

The most reliable way to find current inventory is the live dispensary map:

Many seniors choose to:

  • Call dispensaries ahead of time

  • Ask for Silly Nice by name

  • Pre-order online for pickup or delivery

This approach aligns with how older adults prefer to shop: calmly, intentionally, and without pressure.

What Senior Loyalty Really Means

When more than half of a brand’s customers are 65 and older, it sends a clear message.

It means the brand has earned trust through:

  • Transparency

  • Consistency

  • Lived experience

  • Respect for the consumer

For many New York seniors, Silly Nice is not just another cannabis brand. It is a reliable option in a market that can otherwise feel overwhelming.
