Could it be that they are arrested more because they break the law more?

 

The ACLU is indignant: Blacks are arrested for pot more than whites.

 

They say that the arrest rates are higher for blacks even though use is the same. Yet the only evidence they can cite that the use is the same is a self-reporting survey by the National Drug Health Survey. The survey shows that 14% of blacks and 12% of whites reported in 2010 that they had used marijuana during the previous year.

 

I suspect that not only more blacks use marijuana, but more blacks also lie about it.
