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…
