Minnesota State Limits

To view the cannabis purchase limits for the state of Minnesota, navigate to Global Settings > Current Shop Settings > Limits. This section displays the state-mandated daily limits for Adult Use , as well as allotment periods for Medicinal - MMIC and Medicinal - Third Party patients.

Clicking the eye icon next to each cannabis type (e.g., Flowers, Concentrates, Edibles) expands a tooltip showing exactly which product cannabis types roll up under that specific limit.

The state-mandated purchase limits are structured as follows:

Verify Current Shop Settings

Before managing categories or products, confirm your retail location is accurately set to Minnesota.

1. Log in to BLAZE and select your retail location.
2. Click the Go to Location button.
3. Navigate to Global Settings > Current Shop Settings.
4. Verify that your State dropdown is set to Minnesota.

Manage Categories

Proper category assignment is required to trigger proper limit rules at the point of sale.

1. Navigate to Retail > Inventory > Manage Categories.
2. When creating or editing a category, configure the following fields:
   • Category Type: Select Cannabis (Select Non-Cannabis only for hardware, apparel, etc.).
   • Cannabis Type: Select based on the product cannabis type that rolls up under the specific state limit.
   • Category Unit:
     • Select Units for prepackaged products
     • Select Grams for Deli-Style Flower

Verifying Weight Per Unit & Product Setup

Product profiles must reflect correct weight per units and cannabis types to ensure limit calculations function properly and accurately.

Navigate to Inventory > All > Select Product (or click Add Product).

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: A customer is at checkout and the purchase limit warning isn't triggering — why?

A: The most common cause is a misconfigured Cannabis Type and/or Weight Per Unit on the product profile. Check the following:

• Navigate to Inventory > All > Product and confirm the Cannabis Type matches the Minnesota mapping shown in Global Settings > Limits and referenced in the screenshot above.
• Navigate to Inventory > All > Product and confirm the Weight Per Unit is set correctly based on cannabis type using the examples above.
• Confirm the product's Category is assigned a Category Type of Cannabis (not Non-Cannabis) in Retail > Inventory > Manage Categories.

Q: A customer is at checkout and the purchase limit warning is triggering when it shouldn't— why?

A: The most common cause is a misconfigured Cannabis Type and/or Weight Per Unit on the product profile. Check the following:

• Navigate to Inventory > All > Product and confirm the Cannabis Type matches the Minnesota mapping shown in Global Settings > Limits and referenced in the screenshot above.
• Navigate to Inventory > All > Product and confirm the Weight Per Unit is set correctly based on cannabis type using the examples above.
• Confirm the product's Category is assigned a Category Type of Cannabis (not Non-Cannabis) in Retail > Inventory > Manage Categories.

Q: Limits seem off for a flower product — the system isn't counting the weight correctly.

A: Limit calculations prioritize product-level Weight Per Unit. If a product's Weight Per Unit is 0, EACH or left blank, Blaze will not track purchase limits correctly for this product.

• Navigate to the product profile and ensure the product's Weight Per Unit is correctly configured (e.g., 3.5g for an eighth, Custom, Whole Gram Unit, Half Gram Unit) so the purchase limit calculation remains accurate.
• If this is a prepackaged product, ensure the category is set to Units and NOT Grams
• If this is a deli-style flower product, ensure the category is set to Grams and NOT Units

Q: We sell a hybrid product that contributes to both a flower and an concentrate limit — only one type is being tracked.

A: BLAZE supports multi-limit tracking for individual products that cross categories.

• Navigate to Inventory > All > Product.
• Locate the Product Purchase Limits section to add multiple limit entries.
• Assign each required entry its own distinct Cannabis Type, Value, and Unit of Measure (e.g., grams, mg).

Q: We've double-checked the Cannabis Type and Category setup — limits still aren't working.

A: If basic settings are correct, look into these variables:

• Confirm the shop's location State is accurately saved as Minnesota in Global Settings > Current Shop Settings.
• Confirm Global Settings > Shop Information Settings pertaining to purchase limits for medical and adult use patients are configured correctly:  
  • User Cannabis Limit
  • Override Member Levels
  • Enable Recreational Age Limit
  • Recreational Use Age Limit
  • Enable Medicinal Age Limit
  • Medicinal Use Age Limit
• If your store recently migrated configurations, some products may hold legacy values. Run a bulk update using the Mass Edit utility in Inventory > All to realign products simultaneously.
