What happens to a spineless cactus depends upon the kind of cactus and its environment. Going spineless may not be the worse thing that can happen to a cactus. In fact, not all cactus plants have spines. For example, the peyote cactus [Lophophora williamsii] is spineless. Its defense mechanism instead is the powerful hallucinogen mescaline that it contains.
