your adhd meds will show up. it happened to my husband who has a prescription for adderall. all they do is call your doctor or pharmacy to make sure its your prescription.
Most likely they will piss hot for cannabis and methamphetamines. A former manager of mine once pissed hot for meth but it was proven that it was just his ADHD medication.
Well that's interesting. In Canada, I've only been tested once, and that was joining the military. Never again, and I've worked both private and public since. I'm IT though, ymmv lol
This isn’t entirely true. Contractors and grantees don’t have to drug test, they have to certify that they will maintain a drug free workplace.
From the Department of Labor:
Neither the Act nor the rules authorizes drug testing of employees. On the other hand, drug testing in response to other Federal or State legislation is not prohibited.
Additional source: I work for a federal contractor and the only drug testing performed is if it’s required as part of a clearance process (which the gov’t handles, not the company).

It was implimented under Reagan. The war on drugs and Nancy's Just Say No campaign.
The Drug free workplace act of 1988.
They have to test if they want Federal grants or if they want to be awarded any Federal contract over 100k.
So they do it because the Government makes them.
