NEW YORK (AP) -- Oakland Raiders (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/teams/oak/) receiver Randy Moss (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/4262/) admits he has used marijuana since entering the NFL seven years ago and still smokes it ``every blue moon.''
``I have used, you know, marijuana ... since I've been in the league,'' Moss said in an interview for HBO's ``Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel'' scheduled to air Tuesday night. ``But as far as abusing it and, you know, letting it take control over me, I don't do that, no.''
When pressed whether he still smokes marijuana, the star receiver with the checkered past said: ``I might. I might have fun. And, you know, hopefully ... I won't get into any trouble by the NFL by saying that, you know. I have had fun throughout my years and, you know, predominantly in the offseason.

I don't want that to get across. Like I say ... I have used (marijuana) in the past. And every blue moon or every once in a while I might.''
The NFL's drug policy calls for up to 10 tests a month after one positive result. A second violation results in a fine equal to the player's salary for four games, a third in a four-game suspension, and a year's suspension for a fourth violation.
Moss has never been suspended for violating the league's drug policy and NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said it is confidential whether the receiver is in the drug program or not.
``We evaluate all conduct related to substance abuse and it is handled confidentially by the doctors,'' Aiello said.
Moss was traded from the Minnesota Vikings (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/teams/min/) in early March. He was limited by a hamstring injury last season and finished with 49 catches for 767 yards and 13 touchdowns. It was the first time in his seven seasons that he didn't reach 1,000 yards receiving.
Moss has had problems on and off the field throughout his college and pro career. He lost scholarships at Notre Dame and Florida State because of a battery charge and marijuana use. He set records at Marshall and clearly was the most dynamic receiver in the 1998 draft, but lasted until 21st overall because of his past trouble.
Last year, Moss was fined $10,000 for pretending to pull down his pants and moon the Green Bay crowd during Minnesota's playoff win. He also drew criticism for leaving the field with 2 seconds left in a regular-season loss against Washington.
Other transgressions include bumping a traffic control officer with his car in 2002, verbally abusing corporate sponsors on a team bus in 2001 and squirting an official with a water bottle in 1999.

yeah and I like how he went out of his way to say kids shouldn't do it because he does.

The NFL only does something if he's caught/tests and the NFL tests are the easyiest to pass, you normally know a few weeks in advance of the test (heck, look at Rickey Williams who only failed because he wanted to).

As for what sports smoke pot the most, no one knows. That being said, Weed is the drug used/tried the most because most people feel it's harmless, it's seen as a small step above ciggarettes and alochal or by some =/-.

As long as he doesn't do it during season, don't see a HUGE problem I don't guess. Not something I would do but Randy will be Randy I guess?

Moss probably smokes less weed then most NFL players, based on what he said in the interview.

Well its probably true. Like always, he doesn't try to cover it up. He says he smokes once in a blue moon, I bet theres quite a few who smoke once a moon. Its that way in college, so I don't know why the NCAA would be any different. Moss is simply just older now, and doesn't do it as much as he used to.
