Anheuser-Busch InBev and Tilray Inc. said each would invest $50 million in the project announced Wednesday. The companies will study non-alcoholic drinks containing cannabidiol, or CBD, which some claim has calming and healing affects, and THC, the cannabis compound known for its psychoactive effects.

British Columbia-based Tilray Inc. has products available in 12 countries. Belgium-based AB InBev is the owner of hundreds of beer brands including Budweiser and Stella Artois.
