NO!! You can not and never try to. Even though volcanic ash looks like sand (and sand is not bad for you), under the microscope it does not look like sand at all. It has very jagged edges and is very sharp. If you eat it, it will cut up your lunges and you will bleed to death. If you try to eat it, DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU.

I don't recommend it....
