drug testing experiences at medium to large hedge funds in nyc

Got an offer, accepted, but have not started yet. Nothing about drug testing. In NYC.
What are peoples experiences here? Is it always before the start date as part of the background check, etc.? Also, do any firms out there test first day, or first week, or sometime around the start or after? I have only heard of before, so maybe I am in the clear here. Also, any random tests at the funds ? Thanks
