Jacob Adam Williams, 20, received a three-month suspended jail term for selling the drug as 0.1 gram ``points'' of speed in the six months before his arrest in January last year.
``The total received by him was about $1750,'' Chief Justice Ewan Crawford said when handing down the sentence in the Supreme Court in Launceston yesterday.
``He sold it for what it cost him.
``His advantage was that he could better afford his own use by buying greater quantities.''
Williams was charged after police searched his home at the time at Swan Bay on January 5, 2011.
The search uncovered 1125 grams of methylamphetamine, $95,150 cash, plastic bags and electronic sales.
Williams was ordered to pay $1750 to the state and pay a $50 victims of crime levy.
