Now when I worked as a utility arborist removing hazard trees in close proximity to power lines there was no testing done.

It's too bad you have to give a pee sample to work. I see that as a slight encroachment on your freedom/privacy under the guise of safety.
Your assertion that alcohol abuse is more easily detectable than drug impairment is highly debatable. For example most people can tell if a person is stoned if they interact/make eye contact with them.
If I'm a business owner in the free world, I will hire the most qualified individual for the job. I don't care if he wants to blow his cheque on hookers and coke, as long as I never catch him using it on the job obviously.
