Innovative Industrial Properties is America's only publicly-traded REIT who's exclusively focused on the cannabis industries. It buys cannabis-growing facilities and then rents the spaces out to tenants through triple-net leases.

Business was booming in the zero-interest rate economy, with IIP's committed capital skyrocketing 60-fold from $30 million in 2016 to $2 billion in 2023.

But with interest rates rising and a shaky economy, growth is much slower these days.

The stock currently pays a dividend of 6.7%. That's much higher than money market funds and bonds, with the possibility of rising if the Fed cuts rates in 2024.
