Roger Adams, 1889-1971, Boston-born Harvard graduate and a Ph. D. recipient, taught chemistry at the University of Illinois. Together with Sir Alexander T, he succeeded in elucidating the exact structure of tetrahydrocannabinol, THC, the active ingredient in marijuana plants. Adams exposed the inaccuracy of the common test for THC administered by the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, due to the test detecting a non-narcotic material.
