The cannabis sector continues to evolve as investors search for opportunities beyond traditional marijuana producers and dispensary operators. One area attracting attention is cannabis real estate investment trusts, or cannabis REITs. These companies offer investors another way to participate in the expanding legal cannabis industry. Instead of selling marijuana products, cannabis REITs provide real estate and financing to licensed operators. Therefore, they can generate revenue without directly handling cannabis. This business structure has also made several cannabis REITs attractive dividend stocks. Many offer dividend yields considerably higher than those available from traditional income investments. As a result, income investors may find this small corner of the marijuana stock market especially interesting. However, higher dividend yields usually come with additional risks. Cannabis remains federally illegal in the United States. Consequently, marijuana businesses continue facing banking, financing, taxation, and regulatory challenges. These difficulties can also affect landlords and lenders serving the industry.
