David Caines was stopped outside his home address, Golden Grove in Southampton, where he was found with class A drugs with a street value of about £1500.
Officers searched the property where they found equipment that Caines used as part of his drug dealing.
Judge Jane Miller said Caine's was clearly a street dealer with links to a drug network in Southampton.
The court heard that the 48-year-old man received no financial payment but was motivated by obtaining drugs for himself.
Hampshire Constabulary launched Operation Fortress in May 2012 to tackle the issue of drug related violence in Southampton.
Detective Superintendent Kath Barnes said "A dedicated team of police officers and staff was set up to investigate incidents of drug-related violence and target those involved."
“Our aims are to restrict the supply of drugs while reducing the demand for drugs and helping communities to rebuild themselves free from the fear of violence."
