quote:
Nobody in Pink Floyd was a big time drug user other than booze.
Weed. And Syd was a notorious LSD overindulger (combined with his schizophrenia - just turned out badly for him).
As for Comfortably Numb, the essence of the story is in the song and, somewhat, covered by the corresponding scene in the film. Roger, while on tour, had some stomach cramps before a show in Philly - I guess the doctor, used to drug resistant rock stars, shot him up with horse tranquilizers or something.
The lyrics - obviously referring to the themes of alienation, lost youth, etc., explicitly recall that incident where he tried to play a show and could barely feel/move his arms.

It also specifically references an illness he had when he was young.
"once when I was a child I had a fever my hands swelled up like two balloons now I've got that feeling once again"
David Gilmour wrote the chorus.
