Please; your help! My essay question is: "Psychedelia was the ultimate flowering of Surrealism." Discuss?

Question

I've decided to talk about Surrealism in Greece which includes poets and artists like Embirikos, Engonoloboulos. However, I haven't got enough information on the topic and media technology is required.

In my humble opinion Surrealism as a movement did not glamorize drugs however many artists were inspired through drug intoxication.
A quote from Andre Breton, the founder of Surrealism, "Surrealism is the intoxication".
What do you think? Could i write a 2000word essay based on that quote? My books are inadequate. I need literary books on Surrealism and I'm struggling to find them coz it's all books on surrealist art and a definition of individual artistic pieces

Advice, direction would be gratefull

Surrealism did look at things in a disjointed, out of skew manner and psychedelia took it one step further. You could alos look at some of the offshoots as well, as to how we got to psychedelia
