If they are not willing to take one then nobody in the US should be required to take one for any reason even private employment.
Private employers don't force you to take a drug test. It's voluntary, like their decision to hire you or not.

When I (perhaps naively) asked why on earth someone would deliberately do something that silly, she told me that it's so they can keep receiving Unemployment. Apparently folks have to prove that they have applied for a certain number of jobs each week in order to keep getting benefits - but demanding a stupidly high salary is a surefire way of not getting the job and therefore they're free to sit on their fat behind and collect free money.
That sounds like a good story but I don't think it would work in practice. TWC knows what UI claimants previously earned and they will cut them off if they turn down a job that pays at least X% of your previous earnings, with the X% declining as time goes on. Unless they were making big bucks before they lost their job, they can't turn down a $45k offer and keep getting their UI check.

Offer them the job at $40k and see what happens. :lol:

How many drugs do they have to be taking to get a passing score?
