I wouldn't recommend snorting anything.

If you can stand the taste, sublingual tissues do allow for direct transfer of some drugs into the circulation, but that is dependent on solubility. Highly soluble drugs tend to have higher uptake overall, so the main advantages of sublingual uptake are speed of entry into the circulation, and avoidance of first pass metabolism. I don't think either of these benefits addresses your question.

Dosing recommendations already take into account uptake/bioavailability. Are you trying to save money?
