I'm not entirely sure that employer collected drug screens are admissible as evidence in court. Circumstantial evidence, at best. False positives can occur as well.
If I were caught stealing from a cash register, of Course I'd be fired. Doing something detrimental to the business or against the law while AT WORK is easily grounds to be fired on. Just like if I were caught blazing a joint AT WORK.
Again, what a person does ON THEIR OWN TIME, legal or not, is not for an employer's knowledge or benefit.
