Yes, I think so, I think the powder would be easy enough, I've never used scientific dehydrating machines before, I'm sure there is one that would work...
.... but I think a conventional oven at a low temprature for a long amount of time would work, followed by some sort of grinding process, I'm not sure if a pestol'n'morta would be up for it, but maybe a coffee grinder? Followed by the finest siv (siv? syve? no, no squiggly line there, erm, 'very very very fine mesh') that's possible to get.

I have no idea about the second part, or even if the second part is nessersary, it wasn't for the razor-grinded parma voilits, but they did sting, where is a flour-like fineness in powder, rather than grainy, might have sorted that.

I reckon you'd need industrial milling to get it that fine.
Also, if you've got enough powder, and an anti-caking agent, you can add plenty of water into the mixture and have a fine powder at the end. No need to heat or dehydrate it.

Hmm, seeing as this is all theortical, could you get some sort of 'industrial milling' machine in an average labatory?
Cool, I'm not sure about the water into the mixture, wouldn't that turn it into a paste? Is it something thats nesersary? I mean, isn't the natural moisture in the nose enough? Or maybe, if it might make things more practical, maybe have a spray before the snort, like some sort of PH nutreal fruit juice?

I think, before turned into a powder, maybe make a syrup/sauce/puree and dry that out, as that way we can make sure there aren't things like seeds in there, which would be harder to break down to that level

A blender would work well on a lab scale.
As I said, if the powder is porous enough it'll hold onto the water on the inside, and if you grind it down small enough, the water will remain inside the powder.

Give me a few minutes and I'll post up a diagram of how this stuff might work.
