Crystal Meth Use Up Sharply Among Black Men

Black gay and bisexual men are reportedly taking the stimulant drug crystal methamphetamine -- known as "crystal meth" -- in alarming numbers. Correspondent Cheryl Devall talks with Dr. Ivan Walks, former chief health officer of the District of Columbia, and Dr. Barbara Warren, a psychologist who's researched crystal meth use for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center in New York City.
