Moxie has been a heavyweight in cannabis since day one, and Utah’s medical market is no exception. From the moment their products hit pharmacy shelves, patients took notice—whether it’s live resin, rosin, distillate carts, or a diverse lineup of concentrates and edibles, Moxie has built a reputation for quality, consistency, and innovation that keeps patients coming back.
But what actually sets them apart?
According to Frank D’Anna, Moxie’s Territory Sales Manager, it’s not just about the products—it’s about the people behind them.
“Moxie was the first licensed cannabis brand in California back in 2015,” D’Anna says. “But it’s not just the name—it’s the experience. Our GM is one of the original co-founders, we’ve got a team that’s been doing this for years. We live this.”
Unlike some corporate-backed brands coasting on name recognition, Moxie isn’t an out-of-state white-label operation.
“We’re not connected to Moxie in other states,” D’Anna clarifies. “The Utah operation is its own thing, and we’re focused on making the best products for Utah patients.”
That patient-first mentality is why Moxie hasn’t just survived in Utah’s market—they’ve thrived.
New Drops: What Patients Should Be Looking For
Moxie is constantly expanding its lineup, and this month, they dropped something big: diamonds with terp sauce.
“Our diamonds aren’t just isolated THC—they’re coated in live resin terp sauce, which keeps the full terpene profile intact,” D’Anna explains. “That means you’re getting both the potency and the rich flavors of the original strain, making for a smoother, more flavorful hit every time.”
They also just launched a 1-gram live resin disposable, giving patients a potent, portable option that delivers full-spectrum flavor without the hassle. Since pre-rolls aren’t allowed in Utah, these disposables are the next best thing—a convenient, no-fuss alternative for patients looking for an easy, high-quality experience on the go.
On the Valley Lows side (Moxie’s more affordable brand), the latest drops include:
🔥 Pre-98 Bubba Crumble
🔥 Tie Dye Tangie Whipped Sauce
🔥 Jelly Cronut Sauce
And for patients who want a bigger hit? Valley Lows just launched 2-gram disposables in:
🔥 Lemon Cake
🔥 Blue Raspberry
🔥 Honeydew
For patients looking for a premium, heavy-hitting rosin badder, Moxie’s Black Cherry Tahoe Rosin Badder is making waves. This small-batch extract delivers a potent yet balanced high, combining deep cherry notes with earthy undertones for a flavor-packed, terpene-rich experience. Crafted using fresh-frozen flower and Moxie’s award-winning extraction methods, this rosin badder is perfect for connoisseurs who appreciate pure, solventless cannabis.

As Moxie continues to expand its lineup, their evolution from high-end concentrates to value-driven offerings like Valley Lows is something to watch. Whether you’re after top-shelf live rosin or affordable, high-quality distillate, they’re proving that patients don’t have to compromise on quality—no matter their budget.
Moxie vs. Valley Lows: What’s the Difference?
If you’ve ever wondered what separates Moxie from Valley Lows, D’Anna puts it straight:
“Moxie is our premium brand—live resin, live rosin, better inputs. Valley Lows is more affordable—mostly distillate-based products, cured resin, and botanical terps. It’s still good quality, just at a lower price point.”
Basically, Moxie is top-shelf, Valley Lows is for when you want to save some cash but still get a solid product.
Distillate vs. Live Resin & Live Rosin: Why Should You Care?
Most Utah patients start off with distillate carts—they’re easy, they’re affordable, and they get the job done. But for those looking for a full-spectrum experience, live resin and live rosin offer a richer, more complex high.
“A distillate cart is just refined THC with added terpenes,” D’Anna explains. “It works, but it’s not the same as a single-source product. Live resin and live rosin come from fresh-frozen flower, keeping all the terps and cannabinoids intact. You get better flavor, better effects. It’s just a better experience overall.”
For patients wondering why they should make the switch, D’Anna puts it in the simplest way possible:
“It’s like the difference between a $10 bottle of wine and a $50 bottle. Both will do the job, but one just hits different.”
Moxie’s Lab Manager, Alex Belisle, plays a key role in ensuring their extracts maintain top-tier consistency and potency. A multiple-time High Times Cannabis Cup winner, Belisle has spent years perfecting his craft, earning recognition for producing some of the best concentrates in the game. According to him, the difference between distillate and live resin or rosin comes down to starting material and extraction methods.
“Distillate is refined THC with added terpenes, while live resin and rosin preserve everything straight from the plant—terpenes, cannabinoids, and all,” Belisle explains. “That’s why you get a fuller effect and richer flavor from live extracts.”

Keeping Cannabis Culture Alive in Utah
Utah’s medical cannabis market is still young, and like any emerging industry, not everyone in the game actually knows the plant. Some processors came in chasing a business opportunity, but for Moxie, it’s always been about the culture.
“A lot of companies here don’t have that deep connection to cannabis,” says D’Anna. “They see it as just another product, but patients can tell the difference. You can’t fake experience.”
That’s why Moxie didn’t just expand into Utah—they embedded themselves in the scene. They brought in seasoned extraction experts, longtime cultivators, and lab pros like Alex Belisle, who live and breathe cannabis, not just sell it.
“Cannabis isn’t just a business—it’s about understanding the plant and what patients actually need,” D’Anna says. “You can’t just slap a logo on a product and expect people to buy it. You have to be in the scene, listen to the people, and keep pushing the quality forward.”
And that’s exactly what Moxie is doing—staying on the ground, talking to patients, and setting the bar for what Utah’s medical market should be.
Hemp Store “Diamonds” vs. Medical Diamonds: What’s the Deal?
Now that Utah pharmacies are carrying diamonds and sauce, patients are starting to ask: What’s the difference between these and the “diamonds” popping up in hemp shops?
D’Anna doesn’t even hesitate.
“Quality. Testing. Starting material. All of the above. You get what you pay for.”
Final Puff
Moxie isn’t just another name in Utah’s cannabis market—it’s a brand driven by people who live and breathe cannabis. From award-winning live rosin to budget-friendly distillate, they’ve built a lineup that never sacrifices quality while giving patients more choices than ever.
But Moxie’s impact goes beyond just making great products. They’re preserving real cannabis culture—educating patients, setting industry standards, and proving that experience and passion still matter. In a state where the market is still evolving, that kind of authenticity isn’t just rare—it’s essential.
