Methampetamine and ritalin and adderal all share the exact same chemical structure. They just have different nomenclature.
Meth you buy from the crack dealer in the trap house down the street. Ritalin you get prescribed to you by the crack dealer in a white coat down the block at the clinic.
The amphetamine part, the part that makes you cracked out, is identical. Meaning same effect, same exact molecular structure. Methampetamine has a methyl group attached, allowing for deeper fat penetration.
The active ingredient, the part that makes you cracked out, is absolutely identical in methampetamine and regular ritalin style amphetamine.
Take a look at Chem Compare. If you look on the far right end on these images, you can see that there is a "NH-CH3" on the Methamphetamine where there is a "NH2" on the amphetamine. For many of the known psychoactives, adding a methyl group slightly alters the effects, duration, and/or potency.
What did I say? The amphetamine part is the same, the methyl group attached to the methylated-amphetamine, or methamphetamine, allows for deeper penetration into fat tissue.
For instance, cyanocobalmin and methylcobalmin are both B-12, they are cobalamin, the active part, attached to either a cyano group or a methyl group. Expanding this nomenclature, we can conclude that amphetamine with an NH2 group or amphetamine with an NH-CH3 group (methyl) both contain the active ingredient, amphetamine, and could both be classified as "crack".

Ahem...ritalin and adderal, thank you very much.

No, meth, adderal, and Ritalin do not have "the exact same chemical structure". They have a similar structure for sure, but not the exact same.

In short, it's not the same.
