Is U.S. Employee Drug Use Rising?


Evidence of drugs like marijuana, methamphetamines, and opiates turned up in 3.9% of the 9.1 million urine tests conducted in 2014 for U.S. employers by Quest Diagnostics, says the Wall Street Journal. Findings of drug traces in employees declined from 13.6% in 1988 to 3.5% in 2012 but have risen slightly each year since then. Marijuana is by far the most commonly found drug, and its legalization for medicinal and recreational use in certain areas may explain some of the increase, the Journal says.
