High Scores: ZEN Cannabis Strawberries & Cream Bar
Edibles are always an exciting way to consume cannabis. So many flavors and choices these days. Chocolate seems to stand out to me as the one edible that is truly a treat. After dinner dessert, a good pairing with a cheese and nut charcuterie board. The options are endless with chocolate because if you’re like me, there really isn’t a time I’ll say no to a piece, medicated or not. However, a medicated piece is a plus.
When searching for chocolate or edibles in general, you always scope out the dosage level, especially when they’re all together in one rectangular shape.
For me, I want to make sure I’m not getting something that’s going to knock me down and out after I take it every time. Having the choice of 250mg, 500mg, and 1000mg allows a wide variety of consumers to all enjoy these equally and get exactly what they pay for.
For this edition of High Scores, we evaluated the 250mg Strawberries & Cream Bar from ZEN Cannabis.

Packaging 8 – The packaging is simple and inviting. Leaving the color scheme to a minimum keeps it professional and high class. I do love the bright red foil. Very similar to a vintage chocolate bar.
Ingredients Score 9 – They did an excellent job of outlining the ingredients while being organic.
Value Score 7 – The chocolate is decadent and the effects hit early. It’s priced well for the quality.
Originality 10 – The flavor profile of these Zen bars make them unique in the market.
Consistency 10 – Smooth and soft chocolatey texture.
Taste 9 – Super creamy and very little ‘’weedy’’ taste.
Correct Dose 10 – Consistent dosage and always gets me evenly medicated throughout the hours I take them.
Medicinal 9 – For those who don’t want the overwhelming taste of cannabis or the same gummies but need medicated with a treat, these are a special purchase.
Experience 10 – My experience is always a pleasant one with these. Everything is happy and fun. Then after, as soon as my head hits the pillow, I’m asleep.
Repeat Purchase 8 – I do have to alternate between the bar and other edibles occasionally due to the cost. However, the quality of these chocolate bars doesn’t spark any regret for the purchase.
