The more money someone makes, it's also the less likely they're working a job where people can be seriously harmed or killed by the direct, immediate effects of their behavior on the job. Jim from Sales being on smack is less likely to cause injury or death in the short term than forklift driver Klaus being on smack.
Drug tests penalize people for what they do on their own time. They’re a stick used to beat the proles.
Someone blasted at work is a problem. Klaus getting blasted off shift isn’t.
Secondary affects are probably worse, and more diabolical. Why kill one person when you could kill millions! Klaus running over Andy while blasted is less evil than the guy who put lead in gasoline.⛽️ Sure it’s easier to imagine, but one tear doesn’t make an ocean.
