LOVE HIM OR HATE HIM, YOU CAN’T IGNORE HIM
Hudson Valley Green, Higher Beings, and the Man Behind the Buzz
If you’ve spent any amount of time in New York’s cannabis community, chances are you’ve heard the name Danni Burns.
And depending on who you ask, you’ll get one of two reactions.
One group will tell you he’s one of the most knowledgeable and successful people in the game.
The other group will roll their eyes so hard they almost spill their grinder.
Welcome to cannabis.
Let’s be honest—this industry is full of strong personalities. Put enough growers, breeders, vendors, smokers, hash makers, and self-proclaimed “flower experts” in one room and you’ll have enough opinions to fill a pound jar.
Danni isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.
Or, more appropriately, everyone’s infused lemonade.
His confidence can come across as cocky. He’s passionate about his products. He’s vocal about what he believes is good flower and what he believes isn’t. Sometimes that rubs people the wrong way.
But here’s the thing:
Whether you love him, dislike him, agree with him, disagree with him, or simply avoid Facebook comment sections altogether…
The results speak for themselves.
Hudson Valley Green has built one of the most recognizable and successful cannabis brands in New York’s legacy market. Their product selection is enormous, their quality is consistently impressive, and their pricing remains among the most competitive you’ll find anywhere in the state.
Those aren’t opinions.
Those are facts.
Now, do I personally agree with every statement Danni has ever made about other people’s flower?
No.
Cannabis is subjective. There are plenty of talented growers throughout New York producing exceptional products. This community is loaded with skilled cultivators who deserve recognition.
But I’m also not here to tell another businessman how to run his business or market his products.
What I can tell you is this:
The confidence didn’t appear out of thin air.
Confidence usually comes from results.
And Hudson Valley Green has produced plenty of those.
The Man Behind the Reputation
Here’s something many people don’t realize.
The Danni Burns people talk about online isn’t always the same Danni Burns you’ll meet in person.
Underneath the confidence is a guy who genuinely cares about helping people.
He’s passionate about cannabis.
He’s passionate about providing affordable access to quality products.
And he’s passionate about building something that lasts.
Sometimes confidence gets mistaken for arrogance. Sometimes success attracts criticism. Sometimes people decide whether they like someone before they’ve ever actually met them.
Cannabis users should understand this better than anyone.
After all, how many strains have we all judged by the name only to discover it absolutely slapped?
The same principle applies to people.
Higher Beings Powered by Hudson Valley Green
One of the biggest reasons for Hudson Valley Green’s continued success is the partnership behind Higher Beings Powered by Hudson Valley Green.
While Danni serves customers in the Hudson Valley region near Newburgh, his partner Kevin has become a familiar face throughout Upstate New York and the 518 community.
If you’ve attended enough pop-up events, chances are you’ve seen Kevin somewhere.
And if you haven’t, don’t worry.
Give it another weekend.
He’ll probably be at three events before you finish reading this article.
Together they’ve created a network that covers a huge portion of New York State, making quality products accessible to consumers from multiple regions without requiring a cross-state road trip that ends with you explaining to your GPS why you’re suddenly in the middle of nowhere.
Why I Stand Behind Them
Full disclosure:
I’m not employed by Hudson Valley Green.
I’m not a partner.
I’m not getting paid to write this article.
Nobody handed me an envelope full of cash, a suitcase of samples, or a magical jar that never runs out.
This is simply my honest experience.
Every product I’ve personally purchased from Hudson Valley Green or Higher Beings has impressed me.
Every single one.
Not most of them.
Not almost all of them.
All of them.
As someone who reviews cannabis products regularly, that’s not something I say lightly.
I’ve purchased products from enough companies to know that consistency is one of the hardest things to achieve in this industry.
Yet somehow Hudson Valley Green continues to deliver.
That’s why I’m comfortable putting my own name behind this recommendation.
Final Hit
At the end of the day, cannabis should be about one thing:
The product.
Not the rumors.
Not the drama.
Not the comment sections.
Not who likes who.
The product.
And when judged on the quality of the flower, variety of offerings, accessibility, consistency, and value, Hudson Valley Green has earned its place among New York’s most respected cannabis brands.
So if you’ve never tried Higher Beings Powered by Hudson Valley Green, maybe it’s time.
Set aside the opinions.
Ignore the noise.
Try the flower.
Because whether you’re a longtime supporter or a skeptic looking to prove everyone wrong, one thing is certain:
The cannabis doesn’t care which side of the argument you’re on.
It just wants to get you elevated.
And from everything I’ve seen so far, Hudson Valley Green knows exactly how to make that happen.
