Article: From Legacy to Luxury: How Daron Hudson is Cultivating Something Bigger with The Sanctuary Garden
In the heart of Manhattan’s rapidly evolving cannabis scene, few stories resonate as deeply as that of Daron Hudson, founder of The Sanctuary Garden. From his early days in the legacy market to playing a pivotal role in launching New York’s first licensed dispensary, Daron’s journey is a blend of hustle, healing, and heart.
Daron’s new venture
The Sanctuary Garden is all about creating a space for people to thrive through cannabis.
With over two decades of experience in social services, education, and business, I’ve witnessed firsthand the power of community and education in transforming lives.
Through my journey, I’ve had the honor of opening New York’s first dispensary, and now, the mission is clear: to create a cannabis community where everyone has a voice, where we lift each other up, and where education fuels empowerment.
Together, we have the chance to reshape the future of this industry. By advocating for those historically excluded and ensuring that knowledge and resources are accessible to all, we can build a more inclusive, equitable cannabis market.
I hope that in every visit to our dispensary, you’ll help us push for change – because when we elevate each other, we elevate the whole industry.”
