I personally believe that drugs should be legalized (after all
what right do I have to tell someone else how to lead their lives?)

However, on the issue of drug testing I agree. The police cannot
search your home or your car unless they can show just cause;
so allowing an employer, or any other agency to search my body or
mind without just cause is unconstitutional. 

I might also add that drug testing isn't the only area involved;
several large corporations of late have taken to administering
lie detector tests as a condition for employment. Companies
justify this by saying that they are trying to reduce employee
theft!
