Oregon has decriminalized all drugs and I have heard a number of people in the Bay Area wanting to make progress beyond this without definitive results: https://www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-and-analysis/blogs/sta... . Personally, I tend more towards the liberal viewpoint but I also believe that the more granular we can make A/B Scientific Testing here, the more our country will reach a positive equilibrium faster.

That is decriminalizing, not legalizing. Even taking decriminalization, however, I would wager there are many, many more people who simply want to legalize cannabis relative to those who might want to decriminalize/legalize all drugs.
It is probably more accurate to say lots of liberals and conservatives want to legalize cannabis, and a non representative extreme contingent on both sides either want to decriminalize all drugs or continue to ban cannabis.
