The man was scheduled to appear in court earlier this week.
Police in the Greater Toronto Area have been busy in recent weeks, including raiding an unlicenced dispensary in Oshawa.
Dubbed “Oshaweed,” the shop was raided in July, with officers reporting they seized cash and cannabis products worth more than $66,000.
As a result of that investigation, a 47-year-old woman was charged with possession of cannabis for the purpose of selling. Earlier this week, a second employee, a 40-year-old man, was also charged with possession of cannabis for the purpose of selling.
Last year, four Toronto-area residents were charged after an unlicensed cannabis store in North York was raided, leading to the seizure of 71 kg of cannabis and other products.
Along with the cannabis, police also seized 560 grams of hash, 394 pre-rolled joints, 7.2 kg of loose cannabis, 126 grams of psilocybin, 22 grams of CBD powder and $2,382 in Canadian currency from the business, named Just Compassion Dispensary.
As a result of that investigation, four people, ranging in age from 22 to 44, were charged with possession for the purpose of selling cannabis, possession of a Schedule III substance for the purpose of trafficking and possession of proceeds of crime under $5,000.
