It appears that an employer can get away with drug testing, as a condition of employment. I attached a web site that explains it all.
I will point out a couple of things: (1) If your drug test is positive, you can request a confirmation test. That will give you time for the evidence of the substance to leave your system. (2) Pot and steroids last up to a month.
So, if you fail a test, that will give you an opportunity perhaps to pass another one. This is mentioned on the web site below.

Here's some news for you, since you seem to be kinda slow catching on. Most good jobs do drug testing now. Maybe you should think about picking up cans for a living or get off the dope.

Depends on what you have signed with the hiring. You can look in your employee handbook to see these details usually.
Chances are that if you need a drug test to be hired, they have it written somewhere that you can be tested w/o (or with very little) notice

YEp, that is true. When you step-out to a new job, they have the right for random or suspect drug screening. Piss or hair test? If you are an avid smoker- piss test is easily to pass. If it's a hair test- time for a hair-cut. Really, really short.

yes you can.. the contract you sign when you officially join that particular job usually states somewhere that random drug testing is allowed. You need to refer to the contract with your employer.

Yes they can do this, but you should have been told.... or it should be on the application you filled out or in the employee handbook that you should have been given. Check to see if it is in writing somewhere and did you sign the agreement

Next time read the fine print before signing on the dotted line.
