Due to drugs playing a prominent role in the show, the creators of Breaking Bad felt it their duty to inform the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

The show-runners welcomed any and all help given to them by the DEA, as they felt it would add authenticity to the show.

Bryan Cranston shared in an interview:
“We informed them—with all due respect and consideration—that we’re doing this show, and ‘Would you like to be a part of it in a consultancy in order to make sure that we get it right?’”
Making meth…
He continued by saying:
”They had the choice to say, ‘We don’t want anything to do with it.’ But they saw that it might be in their best interest to make sure that we do it correctly.”

”So DEA chemists came onboard as consultants and taught Aaron Paul and me how to make crystal meth.”
A new skill…
Unlike many shows that solely use realistic imitations, Breaking Bad had the actors learn how to make the real deal!
