Total invasion of privacy. Random drug testing by the government would be illegal under the 4th and 5th amendments, and while unfortunately private corporations are not bound by the same standard, it would be nice if they would actually try to respect people's rights on occasion. No, that would probably be some sign of the apocalypse. If using drugs really affects your work performance, you should be fired for poor performance, not for failing a test.

I would pose a different question, that is, what is it that makes people have such a pretentious and condescending attitude toward, and want to interfere with the personal lives of, a group (responsible drug users) bringing no harm to others?

And you must know this from experience, right?
