A police officer has been hit with a plastic canister containing drugs thrown from a high rise during a weekend raid on Queensland's Gold Coast.

Police from the Gold Coast Major and Organised Crime Squad were raiding a Surfers Paradise apartment over the weekend.

Officers say one of the occupants threw a plastic canister containing amphetamine powder over the 14th-floor balcony, hitting an officer on the street below.

Detective Inspector Scott Knowles says the senior constable was not injured.

"He's fine, obviously - it was only a light plastic container with a small quantity of drugs," he said.

"The four grams that we recovered was also from inside the premises... they hadn't had a chance to dispose of that.

"Investigations by officers at the Major and Organised Crime Squad identified this unit being used to sell and distribute amphetamines from.

"That struck a police officer on the ground underneath the unit block that was providing security to the search warrant.

"We recovered some of that powder for testing - as much as we could possibly could - from there."

During the search, police allegedly found more than four grams of amphetamines, cutting agents, a Taser made to look like a mobile phone, counterfeit Australian currency and more than $7,000 in cash.

Three men and one woman aged between 28 and 39 will face various drug and tainted property possession charges.

Two of them are due to appear before the Southport Magistrates Court today.
