You’d think so, wouldn’t you? It should be common sense that if you’re interviewing for a job, you should probably not be doing drugs in case they test.
And that’s why I mentioned random drug tests. You don’t always get the luxury of knowing you’ll be tested days in advance. And yes, it’s easy to say “just don’t do drugs while on probation” but the sad reality is that drugs are surprisingly easy to get in prison. It’s common for many people to become addicted while incarcerated, (because it’s one of the few respites they get while incarcerated prison) and then they piss hot after being let out on probation, and get thrown right back in again. It’s a cycle that the system has intentionally set up, to ensure prisons are perpetually full.

But also, random drug tests are a thing.

They might be both addicted to a substance AND on probation. Drug Addiction is treated like a crime and not an illness.
