Answer:
You can challenge the admissibility of your confession. To do this, you need to provide evidence that you were drugged. This can include your testimony and any other evidence, such as video from the interrogation room or medical records. If you can show that the police acted improperly, the judge may rule that the confession cannot be used against you.
Additionally, you may have a civil rights claim against the police for drugging you. It's important to discuss these options with your public defender. Good luck.
