Only drugs that are water soluble, or have a high water solubility, can be absorbed through mucous membranes. Examples of these are amphetamines, opiates, many ADD medications, cocaine, etc.. Other non-water soluble (or very low solubility, like all benzodiazepines -- xanax/valium/etc.) drugs should only be ingested orally since the only effect via mucous membrane administration would be a placebo (or until the drug dripped back into your throat and entered your stomach eventually)

Yes, people snort Xanax by crushing the pill and sniffing it up their nose. This is a useless way of ingesting the Xanax though, as it does not cross the mucous membranes in the nose.

Benzodiazepines are NOT water soluble, therefore they will not be absorbed in the nasal mucous membranes. Just eat them.
