Maryland State Limits

To view the cannabis purchase limits for the state of Maryland, navigate to Global Settings > Current Shop Settings > Limits. This section displays the state-mandated daily limits for Adult Use .

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	Medical Use	Tracking Method
Useable Cannabis (CBD Cannabis, CBD Cannabis Flower, Dry Flower, Dry Leaf, Preroll)	Daily: 24.52	30 Days: 120g	Weight Per Unit on product profile
Cannabis Concentrate (Concentrate, Extract, Kief, Oil)	Daily: 12g	30 Days: 3600mg	Weight Per Unit on product profile
Cannabis-Infused Products (Edible, Suppository, Tincture, Topical)	Daily: 750mg	30 Days: 3600mg	Weight Per Unit on product profile

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 Maryland 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.
• Confirm Non-Concentrate is not selected as the Cannabis Type, as this type bypasses purchase limits.

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.

Q: A medical patient's individual limits aren't showing — the system is applying adult-use limits instead.

A: Maryland medical limits are pulled from METRC via the patient's ID. Verify:

• The customer profile contains a valid, active METRC Patient ID.
• The customer profile is set to "Consumer Type": Medicinal-MMIC or Medicinal-Third Party
• The ID matches exactly what is registered in METRC with no trailing spaces or typo characters.
• The shop's METRC integration is active and syncing via Global Settings > Current Shop Settings > Integrations.

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 Maryland 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.
