To add a little detail to what others said, amphetamine and its salts are explicitly a Schedule II controlled substance in the US.

Though, Schedule II means it has accepted medical uses, so it is not illegal. For instance, lots of kids are prescribed amphetamines for ADHD.

The part of the policy that actually references "controlled substances" only forbids apps that facilitate their sale by non-pharmacies.

I think the GGP has a point if you replace "controlled substances" with "illegal drugs." The reviewer obviously seems to think the terms are synonymous (which is false), and banned the app under the clause that forbids "encourag[ing] consumption of ... illegal drugs."

Leaving everything else aside, this reviewer pretty clearly failed to understand and reasonably apply the policy as written. Reference != promotion and "controlled substance" != "illegal drugs" (all illegal drugs are controlled substances, but the reverse is not true).

Amphetamine is very much a controlled substance in the US. You can receive it legally with a prescription of course but that does not mean it isn't controlled.

Of course it's just a name. There shouldn't be an argument that it's encouraging use

> amphetamines are not a class of controlled substances

My pharmacist would disagree with that statement.
