The 18-year-old, of Ringwood Hill, Ringland, Newport, was sent to a young offender institution for three years after he admitted four counts of supplying class A drugs, including heroin and crack cocaine.
Cardiff Crown Court heard how he sold four bags of drugs on three different occasions to undercover officers.
He also pleaded guilty to two counts of dangerous driving, two of handling stolen goods, possession of heroin, possession of cocaine, failing to stop, driving without a licence and driving without insurance.
For these separate offences he was locked up for an additional 18 months, making a total sentence of four years and six months for which he must serve half in custody.
