Hide AdCatherine Duffy, mitigating, said Javed lived with his parents and three siblings at the time of the offences and had been told to leave the family home because of what he had done.
Ms Duffy said Javed, of Fernbank Road, Undercliffe, Bradford, has since been allowed to return home and now has the support of his relatives.
The barrister said: "Mr Javed is a man who will not trouble the courts again".
Judge Geoffrey Marson QC said the offences were too serious to impose anything other than an immediate prison sentence.
He said: "Dealing in class A drugs is a vile and wicked thing because those who are addicted to them rob, burgle and steal in order to fund their habits".
