With a yield of just over 6%, Innovative Industrial Properties (IIPR) is a commercial mortgage real estate investment trust that provides financing to the cannabis industry.

While cannabis is still a controversial investing topic, it’s tough to avoid. For one, both presidential candidates support legalization efforts. Donald Trump just signaled support for reclassifying cannabis as a less dangerous drug. Two, according to the Pew Research Center, nine out of 10 Americans say it should be legalized.

Inflation is gouging your savings and threating your retirement. Click here to see how to exploit rising costs and grow your account.

All of which could have a substantial impact on IIPR and its future dividend payouts.

Even more impressive, IIPR’s second-quarter funds from operations (FFO) of $2.06 beat by six cents. Revenue of $79.8 million, up 4.4% year over year, beat by $2.54 million. Again, should we see further legalization efforts, IIPR could be a prime beneficiary.
