snortable

Can be sniffed

Snortable describes a substance that can be inhaled through the nose, typically a powdered drug: Is it snortable, or do you have to inject it?

The term appears almost exclusively in discussions of drug use—cocaine, crushed pills, or other substances prepared for nasal intake.
