Cannabis fed to ducks by French farmer for 'deworming' (BBC)
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.

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

5. Yikes.
These kinds of stories piss me off. There are so many medical purposes for cannabis, no need for this prohibition shit anymore.

6. Years ago tobacco was used to get rid of worms. I don't know if it
worked.
