As summer heat takes over New York, the local cannabis scene is also burning bright—and one name keeps rising to the top: Silly Nice. This queer-, Black-, and veteran-owned cannabis brand just turned one year old, but it’s already carved out a serious presence across the Empire State. With high-potency drops that have sold out in dispensaries from the city to upstate, Silly Nice is more than a buzzworthy name. It’s a cultural statement, a craft cannabis brand with real identity and real results.

Recently named one of New York’s Top 150 Best-Selling Cannabis Brands by the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM), Silly Nice is among a small handful of small-batch, family-run businesses to punch through a crowded market of 500+ licensed competitors. For co-founder LeVar Thomas, an openly gay veteran, the brand is not just a business—it’s a personal mission.

This summer, as New Yorkers gather for beach days, rooftop hangs, and backyard BBQs, Silly Nice is the top-shelf option for those looking for flavor, potency, and purpose. Here’s why.

Diamond Powder: The Concentrate That Took Over New York

According to Headset sales data, Silly Nice’s Diamond Powder is now the #4 best-selling cannabis concentrate in the entire state. This ultra-pure THC crystalline clocks in at a staggering 87.53% THC and offers one of the cleanest, most intense highs in the market.

Whether dabbed, sprinkled into a joint, or added to an edible recipe, Diamond Powder is designed for maximum versatility and unmatched purity. It’s an ideal choice for seasoned consumers who demand both strength and smoothness. The fact that a small, queer-owned brand created one of the state’s top concentrates? That’s the kind of impact that matters.

Bubble Hash and Frosted Hash Ball: Full-Spectrum Artistry

For those who prefer solventless and traditional techniques, Silly Nice has two additional showstoppers: the Bubble Hash and the Frosted Hash Ball.

The 1G Bubble Hash is a full-spectrum, ice-water-extracted concentrate boasting 52.10% THC and over 61.93% total cannabinoids. It offers rich, terpene-heavy flavor and a balanced, body-forward high. Crafted without chemicals, it’s clean, potent, and deeply satisfying.

The Frosted Hash Ball, meanwhile, is a 1-gram artisan hash gem that hits at 52.70% THC. Made using traditional hash-making techniques, it crumbles beautifully into joints or bowls and provides a flavorful, long-lasting smoke perfect for slow weekend sessions.

These aren’t mass-produced. They’re crafted for people who know the difference.

Diamond-Frosted & Live Resin Infused Flower: Potent, Beautiful, and Unmatched

Silly Nice’s Diamond-Frosted & Live Resin Infused Flower has redefined what premium weed can look, taste, and feel like. Each 3.5g jar features top-shelf Papaya Wine buds coated in rich live resin and then dusted in pure Diamond Powder for an eye-catching, ultra-potent finish.

Testing at 47.75% THC, this is not your average infused flower. It burns slow, hits smooth, and delivers a complex, terpene-rich flavor profile that keeps you coming back. It’s become a dispensary favorite for a reason.

Vape Lineup: Terpene-Forward, Potent, and Ready to Go

Sometimes you want your cannabis experience to be quick, discreet, and portable—without sacrificing flavor or power. Silly Nice’s vape line is 100% cannabis-derived, additive-free, and designed for those who care about both taste and effect.

Runtz 1G 510 Cartridge

Clocking in at 81.96% THC, this hybrid vape brings sweet, fruity notes with a smooth, long-lasting high. Ideal for socializing, daytime energy, or creative work.

Northern Lights 1G 510 Cartridge

With 84.66% THC, this is a classic indica for deep relaxation and end-of-day bliss. Earthy, sweet, and familiar, it’s like exhaling the weight of the week.

Tangerine Cookies 2G All-In-One Vape

This rechargeable vape brings 81.24% THC and citrus-forward flavor. Perfect for brunch on the patio, a sunny stroll, or anything that needs a little lift.

Pink Starburst 2G All-In-One Vape

This sweet, candy-flavored vape delivers 82.46% THC and euphoric, balanced effects. A great option for evening hangs or rooftop drinks.

Each vape is lab-tested for purity, transparency, and consistency. And with both 510 cartridges and all-in-one rechargeable pens, there’s something for every type of consumer.

Built on Values: Queer-, Black-, and Veteran-Owned

Silly Nice isn’t just another cannabis brand slapping a rainbow on the packaging for Pride Month. Co-founded by LeVar Thomas and his husband, the company is proudly LGBTQ-owned year-round. As a gay Black veteran, Thomas understands the importance of visibility, representation, and equity—and he’s built Silly Nice to reflect those values from seed to shelf.

The company operates with a lean team, prioritizes small batch quality, and builds authentic relationships with dispensaries across the state. It’s not hype. It’s hard work.

Sustainability Isn’t an Afterthought

All Silly Nice packaging is made from hemp, recycled glass, and ocean-bound plastic. While many brands prioritize convenience or cost, Silly Nice has invested in ethical packaging from day one. For a brand that preaches integrity, every jar, vape, and pouch proves that commitment.

Where to Buy Silly Nice in New York

Silly Nice products are available at licensed dispensaries throughout New York State. But here’s the catch: they move fast. With limited drops and high demand, the best way to find what’s in stock is to visit their official dispensary locator at sillynice.com/locations.

Closing: Weed That Represents More Than Just a High

As New York’s cannabis market grows, so does the risk of losing sight of what makes this movement important: equity, representation, and quality. Silly Nice is proof that you can succeed in this space without compromise.

It’s one of the few brands where you know who’s behind it. Where the products are small-batch and thoughtfully made. Where the packaging matters, the partnerships are real, and the high hits every time.

This summer, whether you’re lighting a joint on Fire Island, vaping under fireworks, or just kicking back in your backyard, choose a cannabis brand that represents flavor, fire, and integrity.

Choose Silly Nice.

And always remember: TIP YOUR BUDTENDER.
