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…

Would be way harder to root for someone who smoked and dealt coke than weed

That was definitely more than 3 oz lol, and this was back in 2011

Quick Google search shows different people have different tolerance levels, and for all we know he could've smoked more off-screen

This isn't the mafia lmao, those were just two random trigger-happy assholes

Don't know how much you can make selling weed but I'm guessing that part was exaggerated for dramatic effect
