Article Ohio Republicans are divided on the effort to legalize marijuana for recreational use in the state.

Recreational marijuana may become legal this November and many Ohio Republicans aren't happy about it.

Some lawmakers are concerned that even if it passes, Ohioans still won't get recreational marijuana.

"There are a number of legislators who have publicly commented that they will block marijuana in any way they can and that could possibly mean overturning the will of the voters."

The General Assembly is able to repeal a ballot proposal when the issue is an initiated statute. This differs from the abortion proposal, which is a constitutional amendment.

This means that lawmakers are technically able to repeal the proposal the day after it passes."
