Top Marijuana Stocks For Your Long-Term Portfolio
Are you looking for the top marijuana stocks to invest in for 2023?

Investors might profit from the market trend using the sector’s recent decline. Additionally, it is anticipated that the cannabis market will double in size over the next five years, creating an opportunity for marijuana REITs to consistently expand in value.

In general, one of the things luring long-term investors to these marijuana stocks is the relative rarity of dividends in the cannabis sector. Cannabis REITs have provided the best dividend increases over the preceding five years, averaging over 20% annually. However, at roughly 70% of their available FFO, cannabis REITs pay out more than the average for the REIT sector.
