No, there is no need to hire a lawyer. In this tight knit industry, how did you get caught by failing a drug test, if you were so worried about being able to get/maintain a job?

As more and more employers are putting drug testing into place the employee with half a brain would know NOT to do drugs. You made the decision to do something that is illegal. Now you'll have to pay the consequences.

Are we to assume that you were terminated as a result of failing a drug test? You are assuming that members of management "spread the word" about what occurred. It's possible that people just guessed correctly (which happens surprisingly often) and the rumor mill spread it about. If contacted for a reference, your employer is free to tell prospective employers why you no longer work there.
