Lambton OPP say they seized marijuana, a loaded rifle and cash following a routine traffic stop in Dawn-Euphemia last Friday evening.
A car was stopped around 7pm in the area of Esterville Rd. and Kent Line.
The officer detected what he thought to be a strong smell of pot and a subsequent search led to the discovery of 279 g of suspected marijuana, $1,400 cash and a loaded .50 caliber rifle.
James Albert Barnes, 33, of Dresden and Bradley Michael Holmes, 28, of Tilbury face various charges including possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.
Barnes is also charged with disobeying a stop sign and failing to surrender his licence.
Both men have a December 14 court date in Sarnia.
