Yes, many corporate companies still drug test, but practices have evolved in recent years, especially regarding marijuana testing. Many large corporations, particularly federal contractors like Lockheed Martin, safety sensitive industries like transportation, manufacturing, healthcare, and companies operating heavy machinery, continue to conduct pre-employment drug screening, often urine test, to ensure workplace safety and compliance with federal regulations. Some also conduct random drug testing, post-accident testing, and reasonable suspicion testing. However, many corporate companies, especially in tech, creative, and white collar sectors, have reduced or eliminated marijuana from testing panels in states where it is legal, or have stopped testing altogether except for safety sensitive roles. Companies in states with privacy laws may limit random testing. Overall, drug testing remains common for pre-employment, but random testing is less common outside safety sensitive industries. Many corporate companies still test for hard drugs, but attitudes toward marijuana testing have changed, with some companies focusing only on impairment at work rather than blanket testing.
