I’ve been through about 8 tech jobs in my nearing twenty years of experience. The only drug test I ever had was when I worked at a tech company for a hospital, and I declined.
Even the gov job did not require a drug test. Maybe because it wasn’t federal government, or there was some loophole with contractors, or something else. I definitely had friends who had to do drug tests with government contracts.
I typically laugh at drug tests. I live in a legal state, I don’t use anything, and the fact that you can take cocaine every day for a year and stop for a few days, and you’ll still pass. It’s stupid and I’m fortunate to be in a position where it’s an extremely rare question to ask in my industry.
