Answer:
We cannot give legal advice. The following is not a substitute for the advice of a local attorney. But we hope the information will be useful.
You would be able to challenge the admissibility of the confession (statement). You would have to put on your evidence of being drugged (your testimony, plus any other evidence available - interrogation room video, medical evidence, etc.) to show the judge that the police acted improperly and may not use the confession as evidence against you. You would also have a suit for violation of your civil rights by the police, for drugging you. Talk with your public defender about these possibilities. Good luck.
