Yes. Provided that the employer has a reason to do pre-employment drug screening, the results ot the test can be used in an employment decision. Some jobs require a degree of alertness and judgment that is inconsistent with the use of certain drugs whether prescribed or not. /p/ See also: http://info.corbettlaw.net/lawguru.htm
