No, I am saying that where statistically drug use is relatively equally
distributed among the races prosecution is not. Though many other
factors play a role, like the cultural differences which drive those of
lesser means into public spaces more often, they don't excuse the
blindness of justice to its misuse.

Bear in mind this sacred principle, that
though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail,
that will to be rightful must be reasonable;
that the minority possess their equal rights,
which equal law must protect,
and to violate would be oppression."--Thomas Jefferson

No one is in prison for ingesting drugs. People are in prison for possessing significant amounts of drugs or selling drugs to other people.

Drug use may be an evenly distributed activity, but drugdealing isn't.

Oh, and far more potential black voters are stricken from the rolls for felony assault, felony sexual assault or felony theft than for felony possession with intent.

Is there a conspiracy by white police to encourage young black men to assault people or hold up liquor stores?

How do these white police hide this conspiracy from their black partners and coworkers?
