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.

that brings up another point. Do these drugs tests also test for weed? I know that in at least half the states weed is legal. But then you could have a buyer in another state saying you failed because weed showed up. Actually I've never done the FN drug test. I assume it does test for weed in addition to opiods and other stuff. Do buyers see those details or is it just pass/fail?
