Cameron Tomasetti has pleaded guilty to four charges stemming from when he was first intercepted by police in between Tamworth and Gunnedah in June.
In Tamworth Local Court, Tomasetti's solicitor Peter Schmidt said his client was admitting to two charges of possessing drugs; supplying more than an indictable quantity of MDMA; and supplying more than an indictable quantity of cannabis.
He also faces unrelated charges of contravening an AVO, and stalk and intimidation that remain before the court.

Magistrate Julie Soars accepted the pleas and set down a sentence date in mid-December.
Tomasetti remains on bail with several conditions.
The 31-year-old first appeared in court in mid-August, but had his bail conditions varied on a number of occasions in court.
As part of his bail conditions, he will have to report to police once-a-week; live in Currabubula; comply with the conditions of an AVO; follow all doctors orders; and must not commit any further offences.
Tomasetti was arrested on June 10, when police uncovered what they claimed was almost 200 MDMA pills and 1.5kg of cannabis.
Oxley police intercepted the red Holden Commodore on the Oxley Highway at Bective about 5.25pm on the day in question, and pulled the car over for a random breath test.
The 31-year-old driver passed the test but after speaking to him, and carrying out further police checks, they decided to search the car.
That's when police claim they found the stash of drugs. Tomasetti was arrested and taken to Tamworth police station where he was questioned and later charged. He's been on conditional bail since.
