Kousiounis appeared at Bristol Magistrates’ Court on Saturday and pleaded guilty to all charges.
He remains in custody and is due to be sentenced at Bristol Crown Court on November 4.
Acting inspector Ben Spence said: “Drugs and organised crime have a devastating impact on our communities, and we remain committed to taking proactive action against those involved.
“The support of the public is vital in helping us disrupt criminal activity. All the information we receive will be reviewed and recorded. That evidence can enable us to obtain a warrant, seize drugs and arrest offenders.
“We encourage anyone who sees something suspicious or notices something that doesn’t feel right to report it to us.”
