### 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:

| **Cannabis Type** | **Adult Use Limit** | **Medicinal Limit** | **Tracking Method** |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **Flower Cannabis** (CBD Cannabis, CBD Cannabis Flower, CBD Preroll, Non Concentrate, Dry Flower, Dry Leaf, Preroll) | 56 grams | Determined by Physician | Weight Per Unit on product profile |
| **Concentrated Cannabis** (Concentrate, Extract, Kief, Oil, Combined, Topical) | 8 grams | Determined by Physician | Weight Per Unit on product profile |
| **Edible Cannabis** (Tincture, Edible, Liquid, Capsule, Suppository) | 800 mg THC | Determined by Physician | Weight Per Unit on product profile |

### Verifying Weight Per Unit & Product Setup<https://blaze-6831432.hs-sites.com/hc/en-us/articles/retail-how-to-create-a-product?hsLang=en>

**WARNING: EACH is only to be used for Non-Cannabis products. Setting Cannabis products to "EACH" will NOT track limits correctly.**

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**).

See the support article [How to Create a Product](https://blaze-6831432.hs-sites.com/hc/en-us/articles/retail-how-to-create-a-product?hsLang=en) for more information

#### Concentrated Cannabis Products Configuration

- **Cannabis Type:** Concentrate, Extract, Kief, Oil, Combined, Topical
- **Weight Per Unit:** Custom
- **Custom Weight Option:** Grams
- **Custom Weight Value:** Enter the exact number of grams.

### Flower Cannabis Products Configuration

**NOTE:** Weighable items will be calculated dynamically as they are added to the cart. Ensure **Flower** is set to **Units** inside **Manage Categories **for prepackaged products and **Grams** for deli-style flower.

- **Weight Per Unit:** Eighth or Custom 
    - If product is in a **Gram** based category for **deli-style flower**, the **Weight Per Unit** will not be available on the product profile as Blaze assumes the product is being sold by the gram.
- **Custom Weight Option:** Grams
- **Custom Weight Value:** Enter the exact number of grams.

### 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.
