If I had a business and needed to hire somebody for a position that didn't involve potential danger to my customers, I probably wouldn't give a drug test. But if the person came up drunk or high and his work suffered, he'd quickly be out of a job though. But there is nothing at all fascist if I did decide to give a drug test. I worked for a private company in a sales type position and had to take a drug test. If somebody didn't like the policy, they could go down the street and take a different job. Drug users aren't a protected class, nor should they be. An employer is well within his rights to not want to hire people who use drugs.
