I think that is accurate. I just got a job with the federal government and I had to pass a drug test and sign a document that said I wasn't addicted to marijuana or LSD, which i found odd because I don't recall the document mentioning heroin, cocaine, meth, or pharmaceuticals. Do people still do LSD?I'm pretty sure they have to pass the test if they will be directly working on the federal contractually funded projects. I just remember having to sign a bunch of shit when I was working on gov contracts basically saying that you are receiving gov funds, and are required by law to pass the drug test. I had to sign all that shit just to acknowledge that I understand that I will be drug tested, and why.
I could be wrong though, it has been a few years
Edit:
In 1986, Reagan made it mandatory for all federal employees to Just say no. The Drug Free Workplace Act followed in 1988. This made drug tests a requirement for any company that contracted more than $25,000 worth of business with the federal government.
An important distinction is that I won't be subject to random tests like my former employer requires. Who the fuck do they think they are?
