Re: drug test
A drug test is a fair requirement these days. Employers don't have much interest in what you do off hours, but they DO have an interest in making sure you're not under the influence at work. It may be a catch-22 situation, but chances are there is a fair requirement at work here. You may be able to get your company to mediate, but I suspect there's a reason for the drug test if they go to the trouble of having one.
