apathy... I disagree... I said, there may be some supermen out there but.... the examples you gave aren't them... if the guy can't function when he isn't loaded he shouldn't be around equipment... these guys are self medicating with dangerous drugs... they are gonna blow it eventually... too much too little whatever. Then they will be real sorry or, more likely, full of excuses but it will be too late... they are a ticking time bomb in my opinion. They will either stop or get worse. they can't stay at their current level.
As for testing... find a test that gives levels of intoxication like booze. In the example drone gave for instance... the guy was breaking several laws and would be arrested if caught.. why should someone loaded on pot or speed or heroin be excepted? The problem comes with determining a level that is acceptable for operating machinery and finding a means of testing that.
Til then.... a zero tolerance policy is best. If you don't like that then get a job where drug testing is not involved... that would be the other 90% or so of jobs out there. A lot of jobs don't even require you to drive to work. Use public transportation... whatever. If I catch your loaded bellybutton on the dozer you're fired. If you tell me that you operate it better loaded..... I will get a good laugh but you will still be fired.
