Curtis Heighes, 27, had incriminating messages on his mobile phone, indicating he was selling quantities of the drug for £70 and £50 a time, Wimbledon Magistrates Court heard.
He appeared on videolink from Glasgow, where he now lives in Norwood Park, Bearsden and pleaded guilty to one count of being concerned in the supply of cannabis on July 16, last year.
The court heard multiple suspects were targeted by police, who executed several search warrants on the day.
Heighes' former address in Somerset Gardens, Teddington, Richmond-upon-Thames (pictured)
was searched after officers forced entry and the defendant's phone also contained messages concerning drug drop-offs and quantities.
His lawyer Annie Fendrich told the court Heighes became involved via his “naivety and immaturity.”
Even though the potential sentencing powers for the offence extend to three years' custody the lawyer submitted a suspended sentence was the more likely outcome.
Heighes was bailed unconditionally to be sentenced at Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court on a date to be fixed.
