Jesse James, 33, of Carmel Drive, pleaded guilty in Warrnambool Magistrates Court on Monday to drug trafficking and other offences.
Magistrate Mark Stratmann said drug trafficking was one of the most serious charges people in small communities could face.
He said drugs caused considerable damage to people's lives - something James, a drug user, should appreciate.
The magistrate said a corrections report revealed James was a high-risk of re-offending, but said there were still prospects of rehabilitation.
He said James had strong family support, including that of his mother who had written a heart-felt letter to the court, "bringing home the personal impact (drugs) have on a family".
James was jailed for six months, with 62 days already served in custody on remand.
Upon his release, he will commence a 12-month corrections order with conditions he undergo mental health treatment, offending behaviour programs and judicial monitoring.
James was arrested on September 17 after police intercepted him driving a Hyundai Santa Fe wagon about 3pm on the Foxhow Road north of Camperdown.
James appeared nervous, was sweating and evasive in his answers to police.
The car was subsequently searched and officers located seven grams of methamphetamine disguised in a deodorant bottle, about 10 millilitres of GHB, a set of digital scales and a large quantity of resealable bags.
The search of the vehicle led to the execution of a search warrant at James' property.
Upon arrival, his parents told police their son lived out the back in a small studio room that was usually locked.
A search of the room uncovered large quantities of drugs as well as knives, swords, scales and other drug paraphernalia, including smoking instruments and deal bags.
The drugs included 15 grams of cannabis, with a street value of more than $1000, and 7.49 grams of ice, more than twice the traffickable amount, with a street value of more than $3000, and 585 ml of GHB.
The offending was James' second drug trafficking offence in two years.
