Sure, but that's not what the policies are for. If/when someone gets injured on the job the policy is standardly they require you to take a drug test then. If you fail you were breaking policy and the injury is deemed your fault, thus taking all responsibility of paying you workers comp off the table. Happens every day across the U.S. (that said I believe you can fight it, as you aren't always automatically eliminated if you fail the drug test, you will have an up hill battle though)
I worked at a factory in the rural south the year (2022) they quietly did away with marijuana testing, even for spot violations. Turns out the standard reasoning, "the insurance company says," doesn't really matter... they didn't care and allowed a 9-panel to be used in all testing matters.
The unofficial reason I heard is, they go through the same workers on rotation, the good employees get hired back and forth. Drunks are chaotic, tweakers introduce drugs and are chaotic. Stoners are quiet and show up on time, and cause 0% of the fights, and tend to come with less of a rap sheet for terroristic threats and domestics.
They almost tripped over themselves to look the other way on my stonership...
“Drug-free workplace” policy language is also a requirement for a lot of government contracts in the US
For weed, get a medical card, if you can afford it. Usually even in recreational states you can get one and then they can't fire ypu for it.

You can have a prescription for opiates too.
Doesn't make it OK to be high at a job where that impairment puts you and others in danger.
That being said, there's no test for THC that has a narrow enough time window to tell if someone is currently intoxicated. Blood tests are the closest at 6h, but blood levels aren't correlated with intoxication.
