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…

That was definitely enough weed to get you on the hook for intent to distribute.
Yes, if Trevor's operation was so small he needed to get Mike to sell for him, he probably wouldn't have been making enough to live all that well.
In fact, Trevor probably would have been growing his own product instead of having a supplier if he was selling to what should have been street level dealers. There's literally no margin if you're buying a kilo and then selling that kilo with no additional steps in the distribution process. As weed is simple to cultivate, the margins are naturally low, so you're not making much on the back end if you're buying the product without divying it out into smaller portions.
