A majority of Arizonans support same-sex marriage and decriminalizing marijuana use, a new poll says.

The Behavior Research Center’s Rocky Mountain Poll indicated that most Arizonans — 56 percent — favor legalizing the possession of small amounts of marijuana for personal use, while 37 percent oppose such a move and 7 percent were unsure about the issue.

Voters in 2010 by a narrow margin legalized marijuana for medicinal use; more than 35,000 Arizonans participate in that program.

Independent voters were most supportive of legalization, at 72 percent, while Republicans and conservatives were most likely to be opposed: 41 percent of Republicans said they favored legalization of marijuana, while 56 percent of those who identified with the GOP said they were opposed to it.
