Meth on the street: $40

Meth when they sing the name of the pill to you in a fancy commercial: $180

Meth is not ~~sold as a prescription drug~~ advertised in commercials, so I can only assume you're referencing Adderall (amphetamine), but the difference between them is like the difference between how flammable wood and gasoline are.

Edit: as others have pointed out, I was wrong with that statement about meth not being sold as a prescription drug. However, the original point still stands. People often conflate "amphetamine" with "methamphetamine", and this is dangerous for people who are prescribed Adderall and the like because, as long as the two are conflated, then people will shame those who need that prescription. This is a real problem that actually happens.
