Ritalin vs. Methamphetamine?

How come kids that took Ritalin for ADHD often as adults use Methamphetamine??

If you have ADD as a child you continue to have it through life. If you are treated with meds for the condition as a child you will be treated with meds for the condition through life. Look up Ritalin and methamphetamine on any med site, such as www.webmd.com and you will see that the two meds are similar in the actions and structure.

Because meth is almost identical to the chemical in ritalin, so the body gets a similar reaction to it and it feeds their addiction

speed is speed,but I myself have not seen this problem.
