Instructions

  1. 1
    Finely grind cannabis using a grinder. Spread on a baking sheet and decarboxylate in the oven at 221°F (105°C) for 40 minutes — this activates the active compounds. Finished when the aroma is intensely fruity.
  2. 2
    Add activated cannabis to 4 tbsp olive oil. Infuse in a water bath (bowl over hot water, not boiling) for 30 minutes — never heat directly. Strain oil through a fine sieve and let cool.
  3. 3
    Cut fresh halibut into uniform cubes of about 1.5 cm (0.6 in). Use only sushi-grade fish — it's not cooked but cured raw with lime acid.
  4. 4
    Marinate fish in plenty of freshly squeezed lime juice. Marinate for at least 15 minutes — the acid denatures the protein (cold cooking). Fish turns from transparent to opaque white when done.
  5. 5
    Peel sweet potato, cut into cubes, and cook in salted water until tender (about 15 minutes). Cook corn in water with 1 tsp sugar — that's the Peruvian tradition.
  6. 6
    Very finely mince red onion and garlic, add hot pepper to taste. Mix with the marinated fish.
  7. 7
    Drizzle infused olive oil over the ceviche and gently toss. The citrus terpenes of Super Citra G variety harmonize perfectly with the lime juice.
  8. 8
    Plate: ceviche in the center, sweet potato pieces and corn kernels alongside. Serve immediately — ceviche waits for no one.

Pro Tips

  • Use only sushi-grade fish — it's raw-cured with lime acid, never heated.
  • Citrus terpenes in cannabis (e.g., Super Citra G) harmonize perfectly with the lime juice in ceviche.
  • Infuse olive oil in a water bath at max 158°F (70°C) — never boil directly or active compounds are lost.
  • Traditionally, corn is cooked Peruvian-style in sugar water — that makes the difference.
  • Vaporizer tip from Jürgen Bickel: start at 342–356°F (172–180°C) for full aroma, increase to 410°F (210°C) for more effects.
  • Calculate dosage carefully — edibles act slowly and more intensely than inhalation.
