What's the point of urine testing to get a job?

When I took my most recent job (about 7 years ago), I had to take a urine test as a condition of employment. Fine, I did so, and of course I passed. I’ve worked there for a while now.
No repeats, no random testing since.
I could have started doing drugs the day after the test and I could be total addict now. I could be hooked on all sorts of things – but the company would never know.
So what’s the point? I guess it tells them that at one point in time in 2006 I was drug free. That says nothing about the present or the future.
Why do they require urine testing upon hiring?
