Pre-employment Drug Testing at Morgan Stanley?

Does anyone know if Morgan Stanley drug tests college grads who start straight out of school? They mentioned they perform a pre-employment process consisting of a background check, but did not indicate anything else. If there is a test, does it occur close to the start date or could it happen even 6 months out from the start date (now)?

Appreciate any answers that address the question without judgement. Thanks.

Currently at MS. Was hired a year ago. Very thorough back ground check but no drug test.
