I don't think I would personally, be that brave...that is what the drug list is for.

You may have the right to refuse a urine test, but they also have the legal right to say "If this potential employee is doing this over a drug test, how much trouble will they be if we offer them a job" and never call you back with your start date.

I think Gromit is giving excellent advice
