Methamphetamine works very differently with respect to other drugs.

It has very potent effects in terms of displacing and causing the release of dopamine and norepinphrine (both are catecholamines). It also has some selective catecholamine receptor binding affinity.

However, you cannot really compare this to other stimulant drugs on an equivalent basis, because many other drugs work differently.

Cocaine and Ritalin (methylphenidate) act as dopamine reuptake inhibitors, which is a completely different mechanism.

Are legal drugs better then illegal drugs?

it depends what they are some legal drugs are if u take enough but there more of a risk of dying then illegal drugs, for example k2 is legal pot is not as good as the illegal but if u take enough it can be equal but your not prescribed enough to do that. Legal drugs, like prescriptions, can be just as addictive and harmful as illegal drugs. Some sources say that prescription medications are more harmful because they easily attainable, can be less expensive, and they aren't illegal to own if they're your own. However, more and more people are overdosing and entering rehab facilities because of their own medications. If you aren't taking medications as prescribed or are mixing them with other medications then they are most definitely just as dangerous as illegal drugs.
