Question for you. What does the law mean for companies who require a drug-free workplace? Is that still enforceable, and/or legal? Can they still drug test, including prospective hires.

Companies restrict people from smoking tobacco all the time.
That would be fine, Article 1 Section 10 ...”no law impairing contracts”...
‘Course, 20th century employment laws have pretty much gutted that...
I would guess the law makes no difference. An employer can require, or prohibit, anything they want as a condition of employment (except as regards federally protected classes); do as they say, or leave. You’re free to not work there. (My opinion only.) Note that alcohol is legal, but you can’t show up drunk - so it isn’t just about the law. I would surmise that only government employers are restricted from going above the law, and even there, they can still justify the tests on the basis of federal law. Those government positions with public safety (pilots) or national security (clearances) at stake could specifically stipulate drug-free policies in any case.
