    Cannabis fed to ducks by French farmer for 'deworming'


    A French farmer has been given a one-month suspended jail sentence and fined 500 euros (£428) for feeding his ducks marijuana to rid them of worms.

    Police arrested Michel Rouyer after they discovered 12 cannabis plants and about 5kg (11lb) of the drug during a visit to his home after a theft.
    Mr Rouyer said there was "no better worming substance" for ducks and that his flock was in excellent health.

    Now this is one high duck!

    A police spokesman said it was the first time they had heard such a claim.

    Mr Rouyer, who lives in the village of Gripperie-Saint-Symphorien on France's Atlantic coast, did also admit to smoking some of the marijuana.

    They feed it to chickens in Africa. Was on my uncle in laws farm in Uganda and he grows the ganja just for the chickens, doesn't smoke it or eat it himself. He also gives it to his cows if they have a cough!

    He used to get high with the ducks?

    He should be commended, not punished.

    I wonder if there are any ducks who get paranoid when stoned, and if they do, do any of them suffer from anatidaephobia?

    some ducks have all the lucks

    I read recently of a farmer who gave his cattle wine, as a way of seasoning from within.
