> Unless you drive a car or own a gun in the US, then if you do get a bad drug test result you can easily get charged with a crime.

The likelihood of getting charged with a drug-related crime for testing positive for drugs on an employer-mandated drug test, which is the context being discussed, is absolutely minuscule.

You may get fired, but your employer isn't going to refer you to local prosecution, and the prosecution wouldn't take it if they did.
