Brooklyn, New York, July 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Silly Nice, the Black-owned, Veteran-owned, LGBTQ+-owned and family-run New York cannabis brand, today announced \u201cMeet the Hash Makers: The Silly Nice Statewide Hash Education Tour,\u201d<\/strong> a growing series of founder-led meet-and-greets taking place at licensed dispensaries across New York State.<\/p>\n

The tour begins tomorrow, Saturday, July 25, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. at Buzz WNY in Jamestown<\/strong>, before continuing through Manhattan, Westchester, Warwick and Queens. Additional dates and licensed dispensary partners will be announced as the tour expands.<\/p>\n

Founded by longtime partners Shane Breen and LeVar Thomas, Silly Nice launched in March 2024 and has since grown into a statewide brand carried by more than 150 licensed New York dispensaries. The company is known for small-batch, lab-tested products made in New York, including solventless Bubble Hash, hand-pressed Frosted Hash Balls, THCa Diamond Powder, diamond-frosted and live resin infused cannabis flower and cannabis vapes. <\/p>\n

Rather than approaching the dates as conventional promotional pop-ups, Silly Nice is framing the tour as a traveling conversation about hash, concentrate craftsmanship, responsible adult use and the people who keep New York\u2019s licensed cannabis industry moving.<\/p>\n

Every stop will give adults 21 and older an opportunity to meet the founders, ask questions, learn how different products are made and better understand the distinctions between Bubble Hash, traditional pressed hash, THCa diamonds, infused flower and other concentrated cannabis formats.<\/p>\n

All tour stops are educational only<\/strong>. There will be no on-site cannabis consumption<\/strong> as part of the events. Guests must be 21 or older and should bring valid government-issued identification.<\/p>\n

Bringing Hash Education Directly to New Yorkers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hash has been part of global cannabis culture for generations, but many shoppers entering New York\u2019s regulated market are more familiar with flower, pre-rolls, edibles and vape cartridges than traditional hash products.<\/p>\n

\u201cMeet the Hash Makers\u201d is designed to make that category more approachable.<\/p>\n

During each stop, Shane Breen and LeVar Thomas will speak with customers, curious first-time concentrate shoppers, longtime hash enthusiasts, store owners, managers and budtenders about the craftsmanship and thinking behind Silly Nice products.<\/p>\n

Guests can learn about the solventless process associated with Bubble Hash, the heritage behind hand-pressed hash balls, the role of THCa Diamond Powder and the construction of infused flower. Conversations will also cover product texture, storage, labels, terpene information, batch testing and how to shop more confidently within New York\u2019s licensed cannabis system.<\/p>\n

Silly Nice\u2019s Frosted Hash Ball offers a particularly distinctive entry point into that conversation. The small-batch product begins with traditional hand-pressed Temple Ball-style hash and is coated in the brand\u2019s Diamond Powder. The crystalline exterior helps reduce the stickiness normally associated with pressed hash, making it easier to pinch, portion or roll into a hash worm. <\/p>\n

Bubble Hash represents another side of the category. Made without chemical solvents, it gives consumers an opportunity to learn about a concentrate format built around separating the plant\u2019s resin-rich trichomes through an ice-water process. Silly Nice also produces Diamond Powder, diamond-frosted infused flower, vape cartridges and rechargeable all-in-one devices, giving the founders a broad platform for explaining how modern cannabis formats differ. <\/p>\n

A Statewide Thank-You to Customers and Dispensary Teams<\/strong><\/p>\n

The tour is also intended as a direct thank-you to the customers, dispensaries and retail employees who helped Silly Nice grow from a new independent brand into a presence at licensed stores throughout New York.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are honestly just excited and grateful to get out on the road, meet the customers and fans who have supported Silly Nice, and spend real time with the people working inside these dispensaries every day,\u201d said LeVar Thomas, co-founder of Silly Nice<\/strong>. \u201cWe want to thank the owners, managers, store staff and especially the budtenders. Budtenders are the gems of this industry. They answer the questions, listen to customers, explain the products and help independent New York brands like ours earn trust one conversation at a time. This tour is about showing up, listening, sharing what we know and saying thank you in person.\u201d<\/p>\n

That direct connection is central to the concept. While digital menus and product labels provide essential information, cannabis remains a category where personal guidance can dramatically improve the shopping experience. Budtenders often serve as the bridge between a product and the customer trying to understand it.<\/p>\n

By bringing the founders into stores, Silly Nice hopes to support those conversations rather than replace them. Each activation will provide another opportunity for retail teams to ask detailed product questions while allowing consumers to meet the people behind what they see on the shelf.<\/p>\n
