I was terminated following a drug test. Seeking the appropiate words to explain leaving last employer. Anyone else faced this dilema? Suggestions?

Hmm.

Don't lie, but don't volunteer.

In terms of discussing it, take responsibility, and say some variation of you learned your lesson and won't do it again. Keep it short sweet and honest.

But don't volunteer it.
