IL unemployment = after being fired for failed drug test?

Probably not. Your employer will cite section 602A of the Illinois Unemployment Act - Misconduct. Which says the employer has a rule/policy that effects the bottom line, the employee is aware of that rule, and the employee violated that rule.
Illinois courts and the IDES take a very serious stand against drug use. It is a very rare case when that stand can be overturned.

Nope. You get unemployment because you were laid off not because you violated company policy.
