My career choices have put me beyond hopefully ever having to take a drug test again. However it still makes me angry that companies feel the need to pry into your personal life. Because that's just what it is, personal. That's the same attitude a cop takes when you resist a search. 'What do you have to hide if you don't want me to search you?' It's slippery slope logic meaning that you should never try to address the argument based upon the cops assertions but maintain your right not to be searched. Drug testing is forced and it's invasive of your personal space even if you don't do drugs to be treated or suspected of as much is inhumane in my opinion.
Ultimately you're right, don't work for a company that does. But in America it has become such a prevelant cultural aspect of working for almost any company that it's quite frightening. It's the deeper issue of personal/work space and how it overflows that niggles me. What's next? Ever seen Gattaca?
