It can greatly affect your ability to get a job, keep a job, play sports, or succeed in whatever life event requires you to be drug tested.

A blood test is more accurate, but it depends on the type you get. Many doctors will order a simple qualitative hCG. It only gives a yes or no answer, but doesn't register your HCG levels. If you are early in your pregnancy, and your levels are low, you may get a false negative. A quantitative blood test will measure the exact amount of hCG present. It will detect even the most minimal level.
