ROCHEFORT—A French duck farmer has been given a one-month suspended sentence and fined 500 euros (680 dollars) after feeding cannabis to his birds saying it was an excellent dewormer.

The farmer from the village of Gripperie-Saint-Symphorien on France's Atlantic coast admitted that he smoked some of the drug himself but said most of it was given to his 150 ducks for medicinal purposes.

"There's no better worming substance for them, a specialist advised me to do it," the farmer, Michel Rouyer, said, without being able to identify the specialist in question.

"This is for real, not one (duck) has worms and they're all in excellent health," said Rouyer's lawyer, Jean Piot, in an effort to convince the court.

The police arrested Rouyer after discovering 12 cannabis plants and around five kilos (11 pounds) of the drug in a bag during a visit to his home following a theft.

"It's the first time we've heard something like this," police said.

I wonder if it kills human parasites? Eating Simpson oil for example.

Cocorico!

It definetly helps with diarrhea, a lot, especially cakes/edibles.

In Nepal, they use it to feed animals with stomach problems, most of the farmers do it.

But again, there was no study ever for the application on farming industries.... WTF...

the hemp seed is an excellent source of omegas and protein too, when the US eradication program finished, the wild birds began to suffer.

5kilos & 12 plants and all you need is ducks to get off court with just 1 month on suspension and a small fine.

Yes, Duck a L'Orange Bud, perfect for smuggling, Customs will never bother testing a Duck to see if it has hit 20% THC......

Imagine the drug dog going mad, the handler just going "yeah yeah Rover, it is just a Duck, get over it.."
