To my mind the only sensible way to remove the actives from the cannabis without exposing myself to the silver is to use a NPS, I just want to make sure it will actually achieve that goal and not leave my puffing on some literal Super Silver Haze
.
silver is not toxic to humans and is not known to cause cancer, reproductive or neurological damage, or other chronic adverse effects.
Is this also true for droplets of silver forming in the lungs?
Kind regards,

Never heard of that but here is something I found about silver toxicity :
The general public has come to associate "heavy metal" with "toxic metal" when this is not the correct definition. This simple misnomer of terminology comes from the fact that some heavy metals (do) carry a very well documented toxicity, yet there are a few heavy metals that are actually required and essential to our daily lives such as iron and copper (both being heavy metals.) Silver is a non-toxic metal that can be ingested safely (in reasonable concentrations) into the body when in its pure elemental form.
When researching toxicity reports for silver, toxicity to silver has only been observed in the form of silver "compounds" such as:
- Silver Nitrate (AgNO3)
- Silver Bromide (AgBr)
- Silver Sulphadiazine "SSD"
- Silver Fluoride (AgF)
- Silver Sulphate (Ag2S)
- Silver Carbonate (Ag2CO3)
Silver as almost everything in higher doses is not good for your health
In very high doses — such as those a factory worker might encounter in an accident — or from prolonged exposure to silver dust or fumes, silver can have some mostly mild effects on health. For example, inhaling silver fumes or dust may irritate mucous membranes or the upper respiratory tract.
Occasionally, sensitive individuals suffer allergic reactions — contact dermatitis or eye irritation — after exposure to powdered silver, silver solutions or dental fillings. Similarly, skin creams containing silver compounds (silver nitrate and silver sulphadiazine) cause local skin discoloration in certain sensitive individuals. Ingesting silver compounds, such as in medicines, can sometimes irritate the stomach.
Prolonged exposure to silver dust or to the silver compounds in medicines or supplements can also result in a permanent blue-gray staining of the eyes, nose, mouth, throat and skin. This blue-gray staining is known medically as “argyria.” The condition can make people look ill, as if they suffering from lack of oxygen. Once a person turns blue from argyria, the skin coloring is unfortunately permanent. Most medical professionals believe argyria is the most serious known health effect of silver on humans. Aside from its permanent cosmetic effect, argyria is not believed to pose any other risk to human health.
The mild, observed human health effects of silver exposure appear to be highly variable from one person or situation to another. Scientists have not identified exposure levels that can be generalized as harmful.

here read about breathing silver
And from my own experience silver colloid I make my self helped me and my wife to maintain healthy. I used to have flue , cold many times in a year now I hardly feel any symptoms even if I do get some flue I can function normally without any problems.
I do not drink silver colloid very often though.
Just remembered one more thing that silver treatment helped me with enormously and that is
Herpes simplex that I used to have so much and could not get rid of. Was using all different antiviral creams but they say once you have the virus you can not get rid of it. Well I did not get rid of it but now I get Herpes max once a year but before it was almost every second month or so.
So I believe that Silver can deal with some viruses also but that is only my own thought.
