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.
