Let's say that I needed to start on medicinal Mary Jane

And I didn't want to smoke it. I've never smoked anything... Ever and, frankly, I can't take the smell of it being smoked.

If so, what's the best way for me to ingest it, for my not smoking now, nor will be smoking it ever in the future self?

I have no clue, actually, but I wondered myself how non-smokers would do this.

I wonder if you could stuff the ground herb into gelatin capsules and just swallow it?

And keep them in the freezer. And just take a small bite every so often. There are a lot of recipes out there. Just Google it.

If you are in California I can guide you to a source for caring physicians and dispensaries that understand not everyone can inhale smoke. There are edibles ranging from cookies, to lollipops, candy, etc.

It's a pretty in-depth document covering a number of options and explanations of them. As they point out, it may not be healthy to eat that many cookies or brownies or cannibis butter so there are options including tinctures and hash oil.
