There was relatively high turnover and number of the potential new hires failed. There was probably a dozen random tests done in a year. This was at a company with around 45 employees.
The company was privately owned and the owner wouldn't spend $1500 on various things that would save tens of thousands of dollars or get him hundreds of thousands of dollars in business. I doubt that he would spend money on drug tests that were nearly that expensive.
