A French duck farmer has been given a one month suspended jail sentence and has also been fined 500 euros for feeding his birds marijuana. He claims that feeding them marijuana rids them of worms and other unwanted pests. Police arrested Michel Rouyer from the village of Gripperie Saint Symphorien on the atlantic coast after they discovered 12 cannabis plants and around 11lbs of the drug after visiting the farm about a theft.

Michel Rouyer admitted smoking some of his crop himself but he did claim that most of the crop was given to his 150 ducks for medical purposes. Michel Rouyer quoted that “There is no better de worming substance for them and a specialists even advised me to do it.” Jean Piot, the farmer's lawyer, said “this is for real, not one duck has worms and they're all in excellent health.” A police spokesman said “It's the first time we've heard something like this.”
