Umm.. Except I didn't say that drugs don't have health effects, I said very few drugs are truly neurotoxic. There is a vast difference in those two statements. It's simple to not waste the companies resource in hiring shitty employees without issuing a drug screening. It's called an interview. If using drugs does so much damage to someone that they will be incompetent to work properly, then you will find that out in the interview if your HR is worth a damn. It's a very simple process... I'm not against "random drug testing" as you agree to it once you have agreed to employment. However, I do think that requiring a UA prior to being hired is an invasion of privacy. Sure, they may be looking for only "illegal stuff" in your urine... but what's to stop them from looking for pregnancy, etc.? Just like they want to just look at your FB to see for illegal stuff.... blah blah blah... I'm going to eat now. Good luck. Have Fun. Don't Die.

The worst effects of drug usage comes from sustained usage over time. Every dosage dose damage to your body, that accumulates until it reaches a negative effect. While the person may be 100% normal, in 6 months she may be completely incompetent (See - Lindsey Lohan). An interview can in no way, predict the long term effects (Which are the most dangerous) of taking drugs. How can you possibly do an interview and know if the person that you are interviewing will have an stroke while driving an customer around, because of his drug use?
What stops them from looking for other stuff? Simple, more then half the the tests are no longer piss samples, but samples of your saliva. Also, you have to take a test, by the government, to be able to do these drug tests, if you violate them in any way, and look for anything other then what you are legally allowed to, you lose your license, and are subject to huge fees, as well as possible jail time. Its much much more costly to look for anything more then drugs then it would be.
The problem with the interview process
Its not perfect, and claiming it is, is just wrong. People can specifically practice for interviews and ace them, simply to work for a few weeks, get fired, and collect unemployment, so they can buy more weed. As the OP stated, the interview process sucks, because these people cant even get her order right after 3 times of trying. The interview process fucking failed there. Hardcore. And yet your are acting like its the perfect system that protects you amazingly that its all you need.
As Darren said, that doesn't refute my reply at all, you craven imbecile.
What an excellent defense. Attack a person and call him an imbecile to cover up for the fact that you claimed we give up our freedoms unlike the brits, while you allow your government to spay on your more then 50% of the time.
A brilliant tactile move to hide the fact that you insulted us blindly.
