The use of marijuana is done throughout all sports, it's hardly a secret, just the players who do use it normally keep to themselves because responsible use can be extremely easy to hide from others.
This reminds me of many years ago when Darryl Kile passed. They found marijuana in his hotel room and reporters that brought up the subject to other players would comment saying things similar to this, "It's not unheard of, many guys in major sports do it just because it's the only drug we can do. No guy wants to go play the big game with a hangover."
Throughout the time I've known who Randy Moss was I've thought of him as a jackass, a worthless human being, and a sad waste of talent. But over the past few years I've grown to have some respect for him. When he gave up on plays, he started changing his ways. The play that sticks in my mind is the play where the game is almost over, the Vikings need a touchdown. Randy catches the ball downfield and is being tackled by two defenders, he proceeds to lateral to (I believe) Moe Williams for one of the most alert plays I have seen in years in the NFL.
Randy Moss is not a stupid human being, he knew what he was doing when he made the statement, and he knew the risks, for him to be willing to say that and make a stand while still being at the top of his game physically, that gains some more respect from myself.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
