At the tender age of 11, I once decided that it was a very good idea to crush up peppermint tic tacs into a fine powder... and snort them up my nose. While this crushing and snorting of tic tacs did clear out my nasal passages like nothing I have seen before or since, I never tried it again. I had a splitting headache for a good three or four hours afterward. But that was nothing compared to the time I snorted powdered ginseng, and don't get me started on the cayenne pepper...
