Does N,N-DMT glow under blacklight? I know that LSD fluoresces when exposed to UV light, and it seems as though the degree of conjugation in the LSD molecule is not much greater than that of DMT, or indole itself for that matter. This leads me to believe that DMT should fluoresce at a similar frequency of light as LSD, but I have searched around and not found a definitive answer.
 
It looks like DMT has maximum fluorescence at 362 picometers, while long wave ultraviolet light is between 400 and 300 nanometers. So if I read that article correctly, DMT will not fluoresce under blacklight.
