Could an experienced chemist realistically create meth like in Breaking bad? /u/jfkdktmmv No such thing as stupid questions

I have been rewatching the show recently, and it seemed like Walt had no issue picking up on the ability to cook meth. I understand he is an experienced chemist, but is it plausible for an experienced chemist to cook meth like that?
