The lead authors are with Montana State University and the University of Colorado-Denver. Their research was published as a "discussion paper" by the IZA, which is an international research center and with which one of the authors is also affiliated.

You are right, though -- these kinds of stats need to be publicized more widely. This particular paper was published back in 2011... it didn't make Time back then (that I know of), but it has now. That gives me hope that the mainstream media just may start covering the entire issue of marijuana legalization in a more honest way than in the past.
