If the claim was lower drug usage, that is false.

That depends on the source and analysis of that data.

Like this Vox article.

African Americans are hit much harder than any other racial or ethnic group by the war on drugs, even when there's no evidence of significantly higher drug usage or sales. The most obvious disparity appears between white and black Americans: Both groups use and sell, according to some studies, illicit drugs at similar rates, but black people are roughly 2.6 times as likely to get arrested for drug crimes.

In/out groups engage in similar behavior, but the prosecutions selectively target one group disproportionately.

Even with your stats, it doesn't match with the disproportionate drug arrests by race, so it still works.
