IIPR questions?

Yes, IIPR is "the first and only real estate company on the New York Stock Exchange focused on the regulated U.S. cannabis industry, but aren't they buying the properties in the cannabis industry in states like Maryland that will disappear with the advent of interstate commerce? 

Innovative Industrial Properties (IIPR) said it had closed on the acquisition of a Maryland property for $25M. IIPR entered into a lease agreement with a subsidiary of Maryland Cultivation and Processing (MCP), which operates as a regulated cannabis cultivation facility. "The Maryland medical cannabis market continues to see healthy growth and continued program expansion, and with the potential adoption of an adult-use cannabis program by voters this November, we see tremendous continued opportunity and growth in serving patients and customers throughout the state," said Paul Smithers, CEO of IIPR. 

IIPR has committed about $2.1B across its portfolio, including capital invested to date.
