Can cacti be poisonous

Answer 1

Cacti are not generally considered good to eat. It's a common misconception that cacti have water in them, but you'll find it's more of a slimey liquid that'll probly make you feel ill.

Some cacti, such as Peyote and San Pedro are also psychedelic, as they contain Mescaline. Although not poisonus per se, it would not be advisable to ingest them as food as the experience can last up to 12 hours, which can be terrible under the wrong conditions.

Other than that, there is no danger so long as you don't eat them and stay clear of the spines :)

Most plants categorized as cacti are not poisonous, but it is an enormous category and some cacti can be very dangerous. Some Euphorbias (technically succulents) have toxic sap, while other actual cacti have irritating barbed thorns that could cause severe reactions in sensitive persons. Some cactus varieties, such as certain prickly Pears and the fruit of some cereus are widely used as food, but as when gathering any plants, you need to know what you are doing before taking the risk of eating any plant part.
