Innovative Industrial Properties (NYSE: IIPR) offers investors a high yield, and the real estate investment trust (REIT) has increased its dividend payments several times over the past few years. However, there's been a noticeable shift in that pattern. The cannabis company recently announced its dividend for next month, and it's yet another quarter without a raise.

Innovative Industrial Properties (IIP) has made for an attractive stock for cannabis investors because it provides an extremely high yield and has been increasing the dividend at a rapid rate in recent years. At 10.2%, its dividend yield is now at astronomical levels as a significant decline in IIP's share price has pushed its yield up, and it's now up to more than six times the S&P 500 average of 1.6%.
