If I fail a drug test, will that affect my future chances of employment with that company? For example, I'm about to take a drug test for a postal position. If I fail it, can I still apply for another postal position later on?

Common sense tells me that a failed drug test will probably go onto your permanent record and that any future employers will see your records (and your failed drug test), but I was just wondering (hoping) that maybe some companies would let you apply again even if you failed a drug test before.
