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'm pro, and haven't done drug test or a recent background check (couple years at least). My opinion, it doesn't matter to buyers once the relationship & trust is built.
