There are over the counter drug tests that are quite good. Any of the valium like drugs can cause sedation (sleeping pills) and are testable that way. This includes the ever-popular rohypnol (roofies).
The test would show exposure certainly if it were within the last 3 days.
Much milder effects can be produced by a wide range of other drugs such as over the counter benadryl, many muscle relaxants, and others. These would not be controlled substances and are not testable by conventional drug tests.
