    Happy to be corrected but if someone is operating heavy machinery or doing something you might not want them to be impaired due to drugs.

        The factor in common is public safety. In the case of giving birth there is a new extremely vulnerable member of the public. It’s at least reasonable that the hospital needs to know

      That is such an American take. In my country there are three professions in which the employer can mandate a drugtest: train operator, pilots and captains. Everybody else is in their legal right to (and should) deny a drugtest. What you do in your spare time is none of your employers business.

          Nope. By law only employees within the three professions I described above have to comply when asked to take a drugs test. No other profession can be forced to take one.

          That’s not to say that a bus driver driving irratically will never be tested - the police can still mandate a drugs test when suspected of DUI and you’d have to comply.

      Are you insane? This whole thread is insane. The fact that you are OK with this makes this insane.
