I find it annoying how people look at The Wall as just a big drug toy when there's no reference to drugs at all in the movie. In fact I can't even think of any post-Barrett song that has any drug references. Not even Brain Damage does, except for the title "Brain Damage" if that is anything.

Are you sure it was Rick who was kicked out during the Wall sessions? I thought it was Nick. I could've sworn it was Rick who once said that he only did drugs twice in the early 60's and he never did it again because he didn't like it and that he didn't see how he could be inspired or even play his piano with that mindset.

I'm pretty sure Syd was a good reason for them NOT to do drugs.

I feel there is more to say that they weren't a drug band rather than being a drug band.
