When do drug tests occur for SA?

I have an offer from a firm that says my  "offer is contingent on my passing of a drug test"? I am just curious as to when firms typically drug test incoming SA's. Within a week of signing? A month? a month prior to start date? Thank you!

Usually they’ll tell you when. My firm told me a testing facility will reach out within 90 days of my start date.
