Marijuana? LOL Everyone smoked Marijuana in the late 1960's/early 1970s, especially musicians. The fact that Marijuana is still only medically legal in 23 states and illegal in the rest is absurd. Cocaine, Morphine and Opium were fully legal and available in 19th century England. The character of Sherlock Holmes used to inject Cocaine. LSD was fully legal until October 1966. Marijuana? You can't even get hangovers from Marijuana! In fact, unless you consume alcohol and other crap, you wake up feeling much better, a lot more relaxed, well-rested and refreshed.
Waters did acid only a few times. Gilmour did it a lot more, more than anybody else in the band except for Syd Barrett, who wasn't in this band, he was in the original Floyd which was a very different band but still very psychedelic.
The classical guitarist Liona Boyd, who did an album with Gilmour in the mid 1980s says in her biography that when she went to Gilmour's studio, there was every kind of drug imaginable available there for anyone who wanted to partake. She says she had never seen that many drugs in one place at the same time.
