There are many surrealist paintings, but Dali is one of few who is able to convince that this other world could also be real. It may be because he did not paint from his imagination or by combining real elements into surreal components; it may be because he never hid the fact that he was an avid drug taker… and before meeting the love of his life, his wife Gala, whom he considered to be his muse, he had also made it known that he considered himself to be “the Great Masturbator”.

Just because he insinuated that he didn't need to take drugs because his artistic efforts were just as trippy as any drug you could take does not mean that he didn't take drugs. It's common knowledge that he experimented with recreational drugs.
