It is possible in all states in this country to be charged with attempt to purchase a controlled substance such as marijuana. Actual pruchase of the substance is not an element of the crime, only the knowing attempt to do so is a crime.
As to mandatory drug testing, such condition would only happen after there is a conviction of the crime you are writing about or a guilty plea and that would be a condition of any probation. If you do not have a criminal defense attorney representing you in the matter you are writing about, I recommend that you consult with one before you enter any plea of guilty to the charge against you.
