The word "other"

THE OTHER's mission is to educate, inspire, and connect members of the Hudson Valley's diverse cannabis community. From small craft growers to major processors, enthusiast consumers to legacy growers and distributors going legit - our pages are a meeting place to exchange ideas, showcase products, and share knowledge. 

Additionally represents our intimate ties to the world of cannabis - an "other" medicine still fighting for full legitimacy, and an "other" community of users existing outside mainstream society. The Hudson Valley Other stands as a platform for the unique culture of cannabis enthusiasts who embrace their identity as "others" through conscious personal use. We document the lives, voices, and perspectives of those who purposefully live beyond conventional boundaries.

The Hudson Valley Other was founded after New York State began awarding licenses for legal cannabis dispensaries. As the first publication dedicated to the newly-legal cannabis market in the Hudson Valley, we are seizing the opportunity to deliver high-quality journalism, product guides, and lifestyle content tailored to this fast-growing industry and customer base. With dispensary locations opening across the region, our magazine allows businesses to connect with cannabis enthusiasts through eye-catching print ads and sponsored content. For readers, we offer in-depth interviews with local growers, strain reviews, recipes for edibles, and an events calendar.

As a pioneer in the Hudson Valley's cannabis media landscape, The Hudson Valley Other is an ideal platform for companies looking to build brand awareness and capture market share in this thriving sector.
