Sixty-One-year-old Japanese professor from Matsuyama University, Tatsunori Iwamura, claims that he taught his students to make MDMA for the purpose of “furthering their pharmaceutical knowledge”. Well, his unconventional lesson plans have him facing up to ten years in prison.

Due to an anonymous tip off to the Drug Enforcement Agency, the professor’s drug-invested lessons were uncovered. Apparently, between 2011-2013 and 2016-2017, Iwamura taught a class of about eleven students how to make the drug. After teaching his students the second time, he took the drug into his possession. No one knows what he did with the drugs made during the first incident.

Tatsuya Mizogami, the president of the University, released a statement:

“We sincerely apologize for causing serious concern to students and their parents.”

What’s actually ironic is that had the professor gotten the right licensees and approvals, he would have gotten away with it. It’s no surprise that people are comparing him to Walter White from Breaking Bad.
