"...not surprisingly"? Surely you don't mean to say that without drug
testing, any company are rampant with drug users?
I've had to go through this TWICE this year, but only once previously--15
years ago--and I'm not convinced that any place I've worked has been
over-run by druggies.
I am adamantly against this practice, but I have had to compromise that
particular ethic in the interest of continuing to live indoors. In fatter
times, I was able to walk away, and did. Twice. (I was really a speed
freak, I'd be a lot thinner, I can tell you.)
