In his book "High Price", psychiatry professor Carl Hart says that the difference between street meth and Adderal, or crack and powder cocaine is mostly social class, not pharmacology. One is taken by the poorest people, the other by movie stars or given to soldiers and schoolchildren, but they're the same drugs.

He gave a Google talk in 2013: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdsN_vYZ3w8

Again, "street meth" is the smokable form, which is not like Adderal. It's twisting words to even claim that the rocks you buy on the street are 'the same' as Adderal because they're chemically the same. The argument that Hart makes (which I agree with!) is much more nuanced than what you're insinuating here. The scientific evidence on how dangerous crystal meth is compared to Adderal is unanimous. I honestly don't understand how or why anyone can claim otherwise (and I'm more interested in the 'why' than in the 'how', even).
