Two people in their 40s are facing a slew of drug charges after allegedly running a "dispensary-type operation" out of their small west end apartment.

Toronto police described the operation in the area of Dundas Street West and Lansdowne Avenue as "very sophisticated."

Police allege that a man and a woman have been selling certain amounts of marijuana in various forms to people in the community. The pair allegedly specialized in edible forms of the drug.

A man, 40, and a woman, 41, have been charged with eight offences each.

The man and woman were charged with possession of a number of drugs, including psilocybin, the main active chemical in magic mushrooms. Here is an example of magic mushrooms in a grow room.

The pair were scheduled to appear in a Toronto court on Tuesday.

Const. Craig Brister, a Toronto Police Service spokesperson, said investigators learned about the operation through an anonymous tip but said such operations are not unusual to find in a "small apartment."

Officers from Toronto Police Service's 14 Division searched the apartment unit on Monday and arrested the man and woman that day.
