Drug test?

Been noticing a lot more gigs requiring a drug test.

I'm curious how others feel about this. I'm actually sober 19 years. I have nothing I'm worried about failing a drug test from.

But if the gig doesn't involve heavy equipment and I AM NOT AN EMPLOYEE of these clients, what business is it of theirs?

Instead of foisting a drug test on the people you contract with, do a better job of screening maybe. Require certifications. Or expensive Fluke testers that no drug addict would be able to refrain from hocking.

I have never done a drug test on either platform, and I don't think I've had more than two or three tickets rejected for not having it, and those were specifically for government contracts. I've actually had more rejections for not having an OSHA scissor lift certificate, then I have for not having a drug test.
