A trend against marijuana screening is growing, but experts say workplace drug testing just needs to evolve with the times.
In his research, Frone finds little proof that drug tests reduce future substance use. In fact, he says testing deters employees from applying to companies that have a pre-screening policy in place.
Pre-screening for drugs may also be an unnecessary cost for employers: Drug tests can cost $30 to $50 each, according to Bloomberg. "What you ideally want as an employer is the largest pool possible to choose from," Kidd told Business Insider."The larger the pool, the better chance you have to select the best employee."There are some industries where workplace drug testing will likely remain. In New York, the proposed legislation will not ban certain professions from drug testing, including federal contract positions, and safety and security sensitive jobs.
