Taking a drug to get high and taking a drug to have therapeutic effect depends on the dosages, getting high on a drug requires a high dosage and does more harm to the body. Ritalin or methylphenidate can be very harmful when used to get high as some people do although meth is more harmful because it’s often made on the street and has other cutting chemicals added or low purity and has solvent in the final product
They are also both stimulants but not really that related, phenidates are very different from amphetamines chemically. Methylphenidate works more by preventing the brain from taking back it’s dopamine and norepinephrine and leaving it circulating throughout the brain(ndri) amphetamines do this as well but also flood the Brain with even larger quantities of dopamine and norepinephrine.
