A vicious circle of offending landed a man with a jail term.
Jermaine Collins was caught dealing drugs at the Latitude Festival in Suffolk.
Bristol Crown Court heard, having been released by police and owing a debt to dealers higher up the chain, he cropped up in Bristol with drugs and was arrested again.
Collins, 28, of Abberton in Essex, pleaded guilty to possessing Class A and B drugs with intent to supply as well as dangerous driving while disqualified and without insurance.
Judge Michael Longman jailed him for four-and-a-half years.
He banned him from driving for five years, three months.
Neil Treharne, prosecuting, said in July 2018 security staff at the Latitude Festival found Collins with quantities of cocaine, MDMA and ketamine valued at £420 to £700.
He told police he had been "smashed on alcohol and cocaine" and couldn't even recall getting to the festival.
Having been released in April 2019 police stopped him in a Honda Civic outside Bristol Royal Infirmary.
One again he was found with quantities of cannabis, pills and powders as well as cash and two mobile phones.
He declined to be interviewed.
Mr Treharne said that, in September last year, police spotted disqualified Collins driving on Fishponds Road and he sped off at 50mph through a 20mph zone.
After stopping in a cul-de-sac he left the car, entered a house and was arrested.
Yet again he was found with white powder and cash.
Peter Binder, defending, said difficult events in Collins' life had caused significant trauma.
These included experiencing domestic violence when very young, the death of a sibling, and being mauled by a dog at the age of 14.
The court also heard Collins had been the target of gang violence in London, due to his association with someone sentenced for murder.
Mr Binder told the court: "He had lived in fear with threats of violence, which goes hand in glove with someone who is vulnerable, who gets involved in drugs, who gets out of his depth and finds the hole he's dug for himself gets ever deeper and deeper.
"His final arrest was a blessing.
"It put a stop to the lifestyle he was leading."
The court heard Collins was designing a "Step by Step" programme at HMP Bristol which involves him lecturing and mentoring prisoners engaged in the drugs world.
