Do U.S. drug laws apply differently to minorities?

Colorado is cashing in on pot. It's been six months since recreational marijuana became legal, and the state has already collected more than $11 million dollars in taxes.

While pot is bringing in millions in Colorado in most parts of the country, it can still land you in jail. Reports show black people are much more likely to be arrested for pot than whites.

So, are U.S. drug laws applied differently to minorities?

CNN's Jim Clancy has more.
