Can You Snort Weed?

While possible, most of us don't snort weed. It’s not as effective, and it’s much safer to have cannabis through nasal sprays. But we’ll talk a little bit about snorting weed, and why people are doing this. 

Can You Snort It? 

Theoretically yes, you can through the nasal passage. When you spray this up the nose, usually the drugs can go through the mucosal lining, and then get absorbed directly into the bloodstream in order to create different effects. 

While it is technically possible, it’s not the recommended way to consume this. With the limited items available, there has been some criticism on the way that the nose absorbs this too, even when they are dissolved through a spray that goes into the nose too. 

Types of Stuff People Snort 

There are certain things that people can snort. 

As for flowers, you usually don’t think that you can, and usually, it’s better to just smoke or use oil extractions. 

You shouldn’t because: 

  • You can’t’ grind the flower down enough to make this comfy.

  • They’re not going to pass through the mucosal membranes if not small enough.

  • It needs to be heated up before you feel any intoxicating results. 

Some also consider cannabis kief, which are dust like particles that are tiny after you grind the weed. This is made from the trichomes when you grind it, so it’s definitely potent, and has more cannabinoids. 



This again is not recommended because: 

  • It needs to be decarbed before you can use it to have any sort of effect. 

  • It’s small, but also flammable, and it’s risky to decarb this because it can catch fire, which makes this dangerous 

  • Snorting also is something that makes it feel irritated 

Then there are isolates, which is basically the cannabinoid isolated, separated from the plant. These isolates are mostly pure, very potent, and they usually come with crystals that are beautiful, and can be snorted and crushed. 

However, THC can’t form this, so you can’t snort this directly on your own. 

Again, you should not do this because: 

  • THC doesn’t have a crystal structure due to that only existing in an oil. 

  • It can sometimes be hard to get  high off of this. 

  • It requires heat, and when you heat this, the crystals melt, and then, it becomes an oil. 

You can snort CBD crystals, but they will not make you high. Usually, it won’t’ help you actually get the health benefits, but it’s definitely not comfy, nor is it discrete. 

The Solution: Nasal Sprays 

If you must take cannabis through the nose, the best way to do so is through nasal spray, which means that the drugs are put within a carrier made of liquid, and then, you just shoot it, and it goes up the nose. 

There are some cannabis-based nasal sprays. There is one being made to treat epilepsy through having the isolates properly dissolved in a saline solution. 



Nasal sprays are the best way to do this, but the biggest thing to remember is that the type of spray you get does matter. 

Some try to make this at home, but it won’t work.

However, it’s much more bioavailable than other means, and it can help with some of the other effects that people want to mitigate. The one thing that people noticed, is that they do offer almost minimal side effects to the body, so compared to regular THC, it may be the answer that you’re looking for. 

Right now, there is still much to learn about nasally taking THC products.

Marijuana and Vyvanse

This is a drug that doesn’t seem to have any harmful effects when you take this with marijuana. It is worth to note though that Vyvanse is a stimulant, which is used for treating ADHD, and cannabis does have some effects when used with ADHD medications. The psychotropic usage of amphetamines can definitely get enhanced with the usage of marijuana. 

What Vyvanse is 

This is a name for dexamphetamine dimesylate, which is a stimulant tha’ts prescribed for those who are young with ADHD symptoms. This is used as well for those who have binge-eating disorders, especially in adults, and is usually taken in a tablet or orally. How it works is simple. it basically is a prodrug that’s inactive and it works once it’s converted by your body into dextroamphetamine, which is a stimulant for your CNS. 



This is also a TARR1 agonist, along with a vesicular monoamine transporter 2 inhibitor that’ll enter your monoamine neurons, and this allows them to release, along with preventing your reuptake of the monoamine neurotransmitters, including serotonin, dopamine, along with others. This improves the focus, cognition, and your performance physically. Basically what this does is it promotes your “feel good” hormones, while also preventing them from being totally broken down, and it can also help get the feel good parts of that all throughout the body. 

The Benefits and Drawbacks of this 

If you take vynase, there are some side effects to it. 

This includes: 

  • appetite issues 

  • Diarrhea 

  • Anxiety 

  • Irritability 

  • Issues with sleeping. 

  • Nausea 

Some of the less common ones include: 

  • Addiction 

  • Mania 

  • Psychosis 

  • Palpitations of the heart, raising your blood pressure, and can put you at risk for cardiac arrest 

A lot of people use medical cannabis to help with some of the side effects of this. 

The appropriate use of this along with some of the terpenes, CBD, ACBG, and limonene, will help reduce your need for this type of stimulant, which can be a lot more psychoactive, and also a lot more stimulating than other medications. One thing of note that’s a bit different from other types of medications is that it will not interfere with how this is metabolized. 



Cannabis offers both sedating, along with stimulating kinds of properties, depending on the cultivar’s profile and chemicals, and basically it can reduce or enhance the effects depending on the type that is used. So while unlike others, this is one that may or may not enhance or interfere with the rest of the effects of this. 

When you take this, understand that it can interfere with some of the other psychoactive stimulants that are out there. When you’re taking cannabis, you should make sure that you do put these together, you aren’t going to create a worse effect. 

One of the risks of some strains of cannabis is that it is kind of stimulating in some cases, and since this is a stimulant, it can potentially put you at risk for heart trouble, and it can put you at risk for cardiac arrest and the like. 



Cannabis does work with some other stimulants though too, and some of these substance scan be a problem. If you’re going to take these it’s best that you do it under the supervision of a marijuana doctor, as they can offer the best advice in order to look at the condition that you have and ensuring that you’re getting the correct treatment. A lot of people do struggle with this, and this can be a good item to use, just be mindful of the symptoms of such when you consume this.
