Methylphenidate and methamphetamine are not really that close to each other. Methylpentynol for instance makes you sleep.
Methamphetamine is more harmful because it’s almost exclusively cooked in an unregulated environment and cut with substances that are bad for you.
Methamphetamine is MUCH stronger and MUCH more addictive.
There’s a limit to how much ritalin you can be prescribed. You don’t see people tweaking and having psychotic episodes on ritalin very commonly. Especially if it’s used as prescribed.
Controlled low amounts of pharmaceutical grade meth won’t be as bad for you as high amounts of the street version.
People that truly need ritalin are pushed from an understimulated state to a normal state. This brings them closer to what the brain of a neurotypical person is like. Tweaking for instance is because someone is extremely over stimulated by a drug that is too strong.
Meth is more similar to Adderall.
