About 75 percent of current illicit drug users 18 and older are employed as more than 10 million U.S. workers.  On a daily basis, based on 250 workdays in a year, at least 42,000 Americans are coming to work stoned or getting "high" while on the job.  In fact, a national survey of callers to the 800-COCAINE hotline found that 75 percent used drugs while at work. The federal government once claimed that if all workers ages 18-40 were administered a drug test on any given day, as many as 25 percent would test positive.

 

Testing employees for drug abuse is most often conducted for pre-employment, post-accident-random testing, return-to-duty and post-rehabilitation.  Substance-abusing employees most commonly test positive for marijuana.  It is by far the illegal drug most frequently found in the system of American workers.  One major lab reports that 60 percent of all positive drug tests are for marijuana and that 16 percent are for cocaine. In the past 15 years, drug testing in the U.S. workplace has gone from ground zero to widespread employer acceptance.  In 1983, less than 1 percent of employees were subject to drug testing. Today, about 49 percent of full-time workers are subject to some form of workplace drug testing, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
