Technically the question on the paperwork is phrased:

> Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance? Warning: The use or possession of marijuana remains unlawful under Federal law regardless of whether it has been legalized or decriminalized for medicinal or recreational purposes in the state where you reside.

So it should count for other drugs too. The thing is, it's vague and not enforced.

Another take on that is Orwell's thoughts on double speak. Politics of the English Language is excellent for understanding how fascists love doublespeak because they get to speak the truth to their cohort but demand the benefit of the doubt from others.
