Cost of the testing is relevant, they could test for hundreds of different things... but no point in spending a lot of money to test for something that's just not prevalent, ie bang for buck.
that’s a good point, I’m sure they can and would test for anything no matter of legality. The alcohol testing isn’t really apples to apples but I get the point you were making. Alcohol testing is very different than thc testing.
