It does seem kinda like a "flawed" system to base any plans on.

The key to working in the US is not to start with a work permit or a green card--start with getting a job. If you can get a company to hire you then the paperwork essentially becomes
their problem. The companies I've worked for have hired dozens of foreign workers and they almost seem to enjoy pushing the mountains of paperwork around to make it happen (probably because it's always hard to find good IT people; especially now with unemployment so low).

Because you'd fail?
In any case, I don't think compulsory drug testing is very common in the IT industry. At least, I've never heard of/worked for any company that did it.
