Here's a better question: How many people at founder level actually have to take drug tests?

People at the bottom piss in cups all the time. I have a sneaking suspicion the top rarely does.

In SV I have yet to run into a tech company that drug tests.

It once came up in a higher up meeting at a company I worked at and someone snickered and said “never gonna happen. I would lose a bunch of my top performers.”

(I am sure there are companies that test but it is the exception here.)

Bottom of what company? I took a drug test for a summer job, once, when I was building cardboard displays and moving boxes of chips for Frito-Lay. That's it, period, in 20+ years of work.
