Are you sure about this? My English may be a bit rusty but doesn’t the “or any other controlled substance” imply that only controlled depressants count?
To me it reads like the author forgot there were depressants and stimulants that are not controlled. But I wouldn’t take that as a sign that the sentence only applies to the subset of controlled depressants or stimulants.
Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant…
Alcohol being a depressant, it could be argued that “or addicted to any depressant” would be the more applicable part of the question, controlled or not.

I mean, alcohol is controlled, otherwise there wouldn’t be a legal drinking age, or consequences for driving drunk, one might argue.
One might, but that’s not the definition of controlled substance in this context.
