Drug Messages Come Under Fire

State Democratic Party chairwoman Diane Denish said Monday that Republican Gov. Gary Johnson should resign for glorifying cocaine use.

"It's time for somebody to say he ought to quit being governor," Denish said in an interview. "He's obviously just using the platform of his office to promote all this drug stuff."

Johnson's office said he has no intention of resigning.

"Rather than resign, he's going to redouble his efforts, including the message, 'Don't do drugs. They're a bad choice,''' said Dave Miller, Johnson's legislative liaison.

Denish said the state Republican Party should ask Johnson to quit because of a statement he made in an article in Sunday's New York Times Magazine. The article looked at Johnson's well-publicized national push to legalize marijuana and to change other drug laws.
