Review: Double Chocolate CBN and Lemon Sugar CBD Cookies by Enliven
A wonderful facet about the “ratio” edible, combining THC with other minor cannabinoids, is the ability to target effects in a way traditional edible can’t. Enliven is the latest brand to join the trend, debuting both a Lemon Sugar cookie with CBD and a Double Chocolate Chip with CBN.
Enliven Cookies come as packs of 10 cookies. The Double Chocolate Stay Asleep Cookies have 10mg of THC and 10mg of CBN. The Lemon Sugar Be Relaxed Cookies have 10mg of THC and 10mg of CBD. Both cookies were the same size, roughly two inches across and a quarter inch thick. The Double Chocolate Chip was a cocoa powder brown with crumbly lines revealing slightly darker, glossy chocolate chips peeking out from the center. The Lemon Sugar was bright with a consistent creamy pastel yellow.

The Lemon Sugar was crumbly and willingly soaked up milk, while the Double Chocolate Chip remained moist at the core with the chocolate chips adding a fudgy chewiness to the mouthfeel. The Lemon Sugar flavor was as bright as its color with a classic doughy sugar cookie front end that quickly turned to a summery kiss of sweet lemon, cutting through the heaviness of the dough leaving a light hint of citrus on the palate. The Double Chocolate Chip was a much heavier experience. The brown-sugar base created a roasted caramel tone, adding some richness and depth to the cocoa notes, while the chocolate chips provided hints of extra sweet fudgy chocolate. Neither the Lemon or Double Chocolate carried any hints of cannabis.
The Lemon Sugar cookies set in by 30 minutes but reached the real peak by an hour post cookie sesh. My headspace became more and more relaxed gradually releasing all of my anxiety, leaving a collected and present energy. My chronic back pain disappeared, further strengthening the peaceful “in-the-moment” awareness. The Double Chocolate worked faster, weighing down my extremities and eyelids by the half hour mark and started a slow and steady closing of my awareness window, eventually leaving me dozing off where I was sitting. The Double Chocolate consistently got me to sleep, and no matter how many I enjoyed, I woke up without any hangover.
