Drug tests are incredibly insulting, regardless of whether they are demanded by the government or a private company. Hell, it’s almost worse when it comes from an employer.

Interviewer for the job I currently have (in reality): “Okay, good educational background and a lot of experience. All of your previous supervisors spoke highly of you. You are a great fit for this job. Oh, but before we can offer you the job, you are going to have to take a drug test.”

Interviewer for the job I currently have (in my head): “All evidence suggests you are a professional who takes his work seriously. On the other hand, you are young. So you probably smoke pot. Or maybe you sniff glue. I don’t really know because I’m just operating off of stereotypes. Either way, you shouldn’t be trusted. Hand over your bodily fluids.”

If someone is going to pay you, they have every right to know if you’re on drugs or not.

How you argue against this, I don’t know.
