Ex-DEA Chief Lobbying Against Pot Legalization Owns Drug Testing Company

 Toke Signals - By Steve Elliott

 

 

After Bensinger left the DEA, he founded a drug testing lab, Bensinger DuPont Associates, which according to its own website handles drug testing for corporations.
“Bensinger, DuPont & Associates’ (BDA) provides a full-service solution to drug testing management,” the site reads. “Our services are designed to help employees establish and manage workplace drug and alcohol testing programs that are technically and forensically sound, protecting the rights of applicants, employees and employers.”

....

Bensinger’s business partner, Dr. Robert DuPont, is a former White House drug czar. Both Bensinger and DuPont are up to their necks in sleazy, industry-controlled lobbying groups like the “Drug & Alcohol Industry Testing Association,” who were behind the execrable Drug Testing Integrity Act of 2008, which made products designed to help people beat a drug test, illegal.
