Cactus thorns are not safe to eat, as they are sharp and can cause injury to the mouth, throat, and digestive tract. Some cacti, like nopales from the prickly pear, have edible pads and fruit that can be consumed, but the thorns must be carefully removed before eating. It's important to differentiate between the edible parts of the cactus and the thorns. Always ensure that any cactus you intend to eat is properly prepared.
