As reported by Marijuana Moment, during his speech, Petro recounted his visit to New York City, where he noted the scent of marijuana in the air, calling out the "enormous hypocrisy" of legal cannabis sales in the country that initiated the global war on drugs.
據大麻時刻報道，彼得羅在演講中回憶了他對紐約市的訪問，在那裡，他注意到空氣中瀰漫著大麻的氣味，指責在這個發起全球禁毒戰爭的國家合法銷售大麻的行為是“巨大的虛偽”。
"Marijuana is sold today in Times Square," Petro said. "It smelled on all the streets, all the way around the corner, and they sold it...like any other product. I suppose they charge taxes, and that New York City or the state of New York lives partially from them."
“今天時代廣場上有大麻出售，”彼得羅說。“所有的街道、街角都聞到了它的味道，他們就像賣其他任何產品一樣……出售它。我想他們是要徵稅的，紐約市或紐約州的部分生活就是靠他們來的。”
Petro pointed out that the U.S. played a significant role in globalizing the war on drugs over 50 years ago, leading to countless incarcerations and violence due to drug illegality.
彼得羅指出，50多年前，美國在全球化的禁毒戰爭中發揮了重要作用，導致無數人因毒品非法而被監禁和暴力。
