"Perhaps he gave it to someone else who used it, in exchange for ???
I think you might just have something there.

Yup. I might. Now, what could you trade meth for? I'm guessing sex. Lots of hookers use meth.
This is just an ugly little story. Will it get uglier? Nope. Haggard's headed for the rehab clinic for a month or so, just like all the other public figures who mess up. By the time he gets out, this will all have been replaced by some other scandal.
The folks who are really suffering in this ugly mess are those in the congregation of this tool's church. They've been listening to this man on the pulpit. They believed what he said. Now? Well...they're going to have to rethink. Some will lose their faith over this stupid idiot's inability to control whatever it is he can't control.
As you can see, I'm a non-Christian, but many people I love dearly are Christians, and stories like this make me want to puke, to be quite frank.
I met Billy Graham once. I got to talk to him for about 15 minutes. Now, there was an evangelical Christian about whom there was never a hint of scandal. He wouldn't even meet with a woman without a third person present. He did not want to even have anyone able to say that there was even a whisper of scandal about his life.
He was a rare man. He was a terrific speaker. He was a genuinely decent man of religion.
Sadly, many others in his profession are not as he was.
And he would have been the first to tell you that he was not without sin.
And his fellow, to use the term loosely, preachers. Many people see this story and it gives them fuel to their theory that all big church preachers are phoney.
