Dude, we all agree that the government shouldn't be involved, that drug testing should be legal, that is the libertarian solution..
But what you don't seem to understand is that currently the government is forcing employers to drug test and not allowing them to hire people who use illicit substances. The most libertarian solution short of a full libertarian solution is to stop that from happening and allow businesses the freedom to hire people again, by banning drug tests in the work place, since government is forcing them to drug test. It's preferable, and more libertarian compared to what we have now where employers are severely limited in who they can hire.
In a non-libertarian society, what is "most libertarian" can not always be looked at in a petri dish - you have to look at how it affects everything in the environment. For example, if the government is stealing billions of dollars from people to give to immigrants, then limiting immigration can be argued as a libertarian solution to curtailing government plunder - even if it's not the optimal solution, it is better and more libertarian than what we have now. The people who can't immigrate have their rights restricted less than the people who are being stolen from. The people being stolen from are trapped, they can't avoid taxes, they can't move. The people who want to immigrate on the other hand can do whatever they want where they are, they just can't come here and take people's $#@!.
