pods into the machine . The machine engraves our Lotus logo on one side and the strain name on the other side while simultaneously transferring the data to the pod . When our patients plug the pod into the PAX device , they are able to see all of these things via an app on their smartphone as well as customize the vapor temperature and dose to their liking .”
Having this direct view inside 5150 ’ s lab takes transparency in your cannabis products to a whole new level . Although I personally wouldn ’ t want to have strangers watching me work all day , it definitely instilled a much higher sense of trust in all the products coming out of 5150 ’ s lab .
On top of the increased confidence in its products and the sheer entertainment value of viewing into 5150 ’ s lab while shopping at N ’ Bliss in Fenton , another added benefit is the savings in transportation costs . After its products pass inspections from a licensed Missouri testing facility , it can literally walk them into the dispensary next door . And wait — it gets better . Not only does it have its MIP connected to its dispensary , but on the other side of the building is its Missouri Licensed Transportation Facility , Bold Lane Logistics .
Then Jason Haury , General Manager of Bold Lane Logistics , showed me another unique window of opportunity within the facility . This particular window connects its MIP facility to its transportation facility . When 5150 has products ready to be sent to a state-licensed testing lab , they simply hand it through a window leading directly into Bold Lane Logistics ’ facility . Not only does it save on transportation costs delivering products from 5150 to N ’ Bliss Dispensary , but on all the pickup costs to take products to state-certified testing labs as well as bringing in biomass for extraction purposes . No need to drive back to the storage garage after deliveries because you ’ re already there .

This clever facility design allows its licensed facilities to be far more efficient by significantly reducing overhead costs . These savings , in turn , get passed directly to the patients that frequent N ’ Bliss dispensaries , and you don ’ t have to work for a cannabis publication to see them — or to see behind the scenes at 5150 N ’ Fusion .
N ’ Bliss dispensaries also inventories a wide variety of CBD products .
