A company really cannot find out if you failed a drug test. The place where you did the drug test can't release the information unless you allow them in writing. That means you had to sign something saying anyone who requests the info can have it. Also, if the new company were to cal the old company, the old company can't legally give out that info either. I think you are pretty safe.

Not if you live in a right-to-work state. No company has the right to release that information, because it will keep you from getting a job and nobody has the right to take away your livelihood, it is against the law. If you can now pass a drug tests you have every right to the new job you are applying for. Some companies will even hire you after you have failed a drug test once you are able to pass a drug test later, however you will periodically be ask to submit to random testing.

That is privileged information that the other company cannot share. However, the new company is going to wonder why you were terminated from the last job, and if you give them permission to call the previous employer they may suspect that was the case.
