Why would mind enhancing drugs become compulsory to keep your job? As someone already pointed out, caffeine is a mind enhancing drug, and I've never heard of anyone get fired for not drinking a latte. Or what about alcohol? You could certainly make the argument that drinking alcohol can help you professionally, either by making you more extroverted or social at events, or because you like to go to happy hour with your co-workers.
Even in the sports industry, where performance enhancing drugs are relatively pervasive, you don't see steroids becoming compulsory for athletes. I know professional athletes who don't even take protein shakes.

- DenisM 18y agoWhether caffeine improves performance is questionable. It certainly does for caffeine addicts - they can't funciton without a fix, but those who are not hooked function well enough. Even then, caffeine does not have long-lasting side-effects as has been proven over few hundred years.
