You can Google the company to see if Federally owned then check their website and job postings to see references to drug testing. Examples:

BTW, most orgs that do testing usually do it prior to start of work and say you are subject to testing at any time (which rarely happens if you don't act or smell like you do).

Can PM me the name and might know.

Example for Amtrak:

>All positions require pre-employment background check verification, a pre-employment drug screen and proof of full vaccination against COVID -19. Amtrak is committed to a safe workplace free of drugs and alcohol and performs pre-employment substance abuse testing.Nov 17, 2022

What does it mean if the website is ".nih.gov?"

Website ending means it’s NIH (National Institute of Health), which is a government agency. As others have said, best to contact HR about their drug testing policy. While many areas in the US have either legalized or decriminalized marijuana, it remains illegal on a federal level.

The National Institutes of Health is a government agency but it's pretty complex in nature in terms of who does work (US and Foreign employees/grantees/independents contractors, foreign and local for-profit or non-profit companies/entities/etc.). I'm guessing most require drug testing but not all; e.g. foriegn orgs that don't have to abide by U.S. mandates/laws might not require it).

Find what entity you will work for and look at their website or ask a future co-worker you trust.
