Andy - Floaters are just as natural as shedding skin. All they are (in most cases) are pieces of blood vessel that have regenerated, shedding (sloughing off) the old ones. I am not positive, but since marijuana smoking causes red eyes (dilation of the blood vessels in the eye), the turnover of said blood vessels may occur more often in imbibers. Or it could be that because you are stoned, you have a tendency to notice the floaters (ie more "in tune" with your surroundings). In any case, they are not harmful.
Hope this helps - Cam
