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 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.

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.

Must also put on record my thanks to that utterly splendid chap Max Farquar who has helped me out with a few posts here in a week when TheEye was under pressure elsewhere, and was on hand with advice at just the right moments too. Microdave as well. Good drills from both oppos.
