This is an incredibly ancient thread.
You can snort anything that can be crushed into a powder, or is otherwise small enough to fit up the nose. I thought this much was obvious. Is it going to be better or more efficient than simply swallowing the drug? That's the question that needs asking.
Having snorted Xanax, Valium, Clonazepam, etc. personally speaking, the answer is no. Snorting Xanax delays onset (not taking into account placebo), and I got more out of my dose simply swallowing it. There's no point to it. Likewise for all the other benzos. The only thing that I found beneficial in terms of increasing the onset of action was disolving the pill in small amounts of ethanol, and swallowing that instead.
The only benzo that can and should be snorted is Midazolam, as far as I'm concerned.

I know this is an older thread, and I know it's a thread addressing something that has been discussed exhaustively for almost 20 years here on Bluelight. I myself I'm on the end of believing that sounds benzos do have stronger/better effects when taking intranasally versus bucally/sublingually. And just tonight I found a case study whose results show that there's no significant difference in absorption/effects between the two, at least in respect to klonopin / clonazepam. Personally I've never noticed much difference between the two, & I do prefer to snort my clonazepam.

Absorption of clonazepam after intranasal and buccal administration.
Serum concentrations of clonazepam after intranasal, buccal and intravenous administration were compared in a cross-over study in seven healthy male volunteers. Each subject received a 1.0 mg dose of clonazepam intranasally and buccally and 0.5 mg intravenously. ...
