You can if you need a laxative.
Oral magnesium sulfate, or magnesium oxide, is used as a laxative.

No. Why would you? That's like asking if you would drink sea water. Be more specific if you want a more meaningful answer.

It is generally used for soaking, if you ingest it, it will act as a laxative, and if you take too much it can become very uncomfortable. (and depending on how hydrated you are) dangerious

Read the container, it'll tell you if it's eatable or not.
Doesn't sound good though.
