No, I definitely don't support such drug testing.  First, I'd want them
to show that a positive result on a drug test means that you have
caused someone harm (besides yourself) or endangered someone else's
health or well-being.  A urine test shows only that you consumed the
drug within a certain time period.
  I believe you have the right to take whatever recreational pharmaceuticals
you choose, so long as you do it in such a way that your actions while under 
their influence have no chance of endangering me or anyone else who hasn't 
explicitly agreed to such involvement.  I believe that a roadside alcohol 
test with a result higher than 0.05% constitutes sufficient proof that you 
acted in a manner which endangered other people by your actions.
