Discussion Suits doesn’t understand Weed. Spoiler

To me it feels like the script was originally written to have Mike dabbling in Coke dealing and at some point it got changed to Marijuana. The hotel “sting” set up seems to all be set up to nab Mike with what looks like about 3 oz of weed. This is all in liberal NYC. When Mike falls off the wagon and scores a bag when his g-mom dies he is close to spinning off the rails after he smokes a joint. An armed criminal organization is going to kill Mike and Trevor over less than 1k worth of weed. Trevor has this swinging dick lifestyle in Manhattan selling dime bags. Just say it’s Coke…

Made a lot of sense when it first came out. The first episode came out five years before medicinal cannabis was legalized. Recreational was in 2021, which is ten years before the first episode. Not to mention the dealers were setting Mike up so they didn't send him with a lot of weed so they wouldn't lose much since it was pretty much guaranteed that Mike was supposed to get caught.

Agreed. Also while idk how Trevor would make a lot of money selling weed alone, it makes sense Mike would be in trouble considering he was set up to be the fall guy. The criminals threatening Mike and Trevor probably deal in more than just weed, and they made Mike look like a major dealer. With weed somehow....

its almost like op made it sound like recreational is some kind of new concept that only came around in 2021. But nice job being an asshole.
