For the most part, I agree, but Ive never particularly understood how hard it is to just not do it if your job is that strict about it.

I guess the overall issue is if youre part of an industry that explicitly relies on drug screenings. So, basically, you can never indulge in drugs like marijuana at the risk of testing positive, since everyone in your industry is testing. So then it morphs into a career thing, which is very different than a one-job-at-a-time kinda deal. And theyre a consistent thing, not just at the beginning of a job.

And also, hair tests are a thing. And those can go back 3 months on basically any recreational drug, including something like cocaine, which is tough to catch in urine after a couple days. The only reason theyre not mandatory is because they cost quite a bit more. But theyre used.
