Nucor HR Generalist interview questions

Interview was with a panel. Interview went well, however, I was taken back by the request for a drug test following the first interview. While I have nothing to hid, I thought it was interesting a company was willing to incur the expense of performing a drug test this early in the recruitment process. I was asked to go to another building and the gentleman there snipped a piece of my hair! This was not your typical Medi-quick/ / Quest urine test. It was a very odd process. This alone deterred me from wanting to go further in the process.
