Rouyer admitted smoking cannabis himself, but most of it he was giving to his 150 ducks for medical purposes.

He said that a duck specialist recommended him this treatment, because "There's no better worming substance for them".

Jean Piot, Rouyer's lawyer said "This's for real, no one duck has worms and they are all in excellent health".

The police respond was "it's the first time we heard something like this"
