What is the difference between meth and cocaine?

They both are stimulants and seem to work as NDRIs. But cocaine purportedly lasts shorter and is less euphoric and addictive than meth. So what is it that makes them different?

Edit: what are their pharmacological differences?

The term “stimulant” is reductive to the point of near meaninglessness. That same term covers everything from caffeine to meth without actually describing the differences. Trying to understand them both from that description is like trying to understand the difference between jazz and hip hop by saying they’re both “music”. Basically, all they have in common is that they keep you awake & make your heart race. Beyond that, they’re very different drugs.
