Haggard: I didn’t inhale
Neither the prostitute nor the meth, apparently. At least, that’s what he’s hoping for you to believe.
I might might be willing to accept that his Meth dealer just happened to a gay prostitute.
But who one earth buys Meth and doesn’t use it? I’ve never used Meth and if you put a gun to my head and said go buy Meth, I wouldn’t have an idea where to start. Also, if you’ve never used Meth what would cause you to start buying it?
How would you be tempted by it?

I think he shot himself in the foot. Previously, it was basically his word against the prostitute's and no particular reason to believe one over the other.
Now, Haggard's story just doesn't make much sense. As you say, I can't imagine someone simply deciding one day they were tempted to use a drug like meth and figuring out who to buy it from (it's not like drug dealers advertise in the newspaper or anything), then decide not to use it. Having never used any illegal drug in my life, I wouldn't even know where to being to try and find a harder drug like meth, certainly not on some whim of a temptation that wasn't strong enough to follow through on.
Then there's the bit about his "massage." What straight married man hires a gay male prostitute simply to give him a massage? That seems a bit of a stretch to me as well.
