The singer left Limehouse police station in east London at 10.30pm after arriving by appointment at 1pm.
The 24-year-old was arrested over video footage published in January which appeared to show her inhaling fumes from a crack pipe.
The "Rehab" singer was driven away in a silver Mercedes people carrier. She made no comment to waiting reporters.
Scotland Yard said she was bailed to return on a date in May. A spokesman for Scotland Yard said a 24-year-old from Camden was arrested in connection with the alleged possession of a controlled drug.
"This is in connection with an investigation connected to footage passed to the Metropolitan Police on January 22," he said.
On January 22, a newspaper published pictures apparently showing the singer smoking crack cocaine. Footage obtained by The Sun appeared to show her inhaling fumes from a crack pipe.
The star was also shown apparently snorting Ecstasy and cocaine and admitting downing six Valium.
Winehouse's spokesman said in a statement: "Amy Winehouse voluntarily attended a London police station today by appointment. She was arrested in order to be interviewed and is co-operating fully with inquiries. The interview relates to a video handed to police earlier this year."
It is the singer's second run-in with police in as many weeks. Two weeks ago, she received a police caution and apologised for slapping a man during an early hours row.
