Question
Is the fruit of the Senita Cactus Plant eatable??
Is there anything that reacts with it such as prescription medications?
Thank You in advance, Bonnie

Answer
Dear Bonnie,

Here is a helpful website for you: http://www.desert-tropicals.com/Plants/Cactaceae/Pachycereus_schottii.html
I could not find anything regarding drug interaction, however a number of sources say the fruit is edible. Sorry I could not be of more help.

Sincerely,

Greg
