Cannabis real estate investment trusts (REITs) like Innovative Industrial Properties (IIPR), NewLake Capital Partners (NLCP), and Chicago Atlantic Real Estate Finance (REFI) are gaining attention for their high dividend yields in September 2026. These REITs provide real estate and financing to licensed cannabis operators, generating income without direct involvement in cannabis sales. Despite attractive dividends, risks remain due to federal illegality and industry challenges. Investors should watch these companies for income potential and evolving cannabis market dynamics.
