A farm in Thailand has started feeding its chickens with cannabis instead of antibiotics.
Researchers from Chiang Mai University say the experiment is showing positive signs.
The chickens are fetching double the usual price from consumers looking for organic poultry.
A farm growing medical marijuana in northern Thailand has been feeding its free-range chickens with cannabis instead of antibiotics, and researchers said the experiment has yielded promising results.
Researchers from Chiang Mai University's Department of Animal and Aquatic Sciences said fewer than 10% of the 1,000 chickens at the farm in Lampang have died since they introduced pot to the chickens' diet in January 2021.
