Some people just feel that what they do on on their own time is not the company business, and are willing to risk termination if a random test shows they are using an illicit drug. Your company rules are very clear. Use something besides alcohol or prescription meds, yer out. As a private company, they have that right to make the rules that suit them.
It will be interesting to see if they bend at all with prescription medical marijuana. Likely not. The state may say it is legal, but the feds consider it illegal. Since they control the DEA, ATF, OSHA, FCC, EPA, FBI and a thousand other agencies and the banking system, they make the rules on drugs.
I have never had a random drug test. I have always worked at a small family owned business. I showed up and did my job, every day with very few sick days in many long years. I have always been way too cheap to use drugs. Beer is cheap, legal and available almost everywhere.
My doctor likes to get his annuity from me in the form of a physical, and full blood work and urine testing but he is not testing for drugs, just health. In the 6 gallons of blood I had donated, they have done lots of testing on me. Mostly for blood borne thinks like hepatitis and HIV and they always checked my PSA and cholesterol.
