Offences Against the Human Body
Administering poison, stupefying/intoxicating/unwholesome drugs, or similar substances to someone, intending to cause hurt or to commit/facilitate an offence (or knowing hurt is likely), is punished with up to 10 years' imprisonment plus fine.
This directly targets drugging someone - whether to harm them directly or to incapacitate them for the purpose of committing another crime (like robbery or assault while the victim is drugged).
This is the provision used to prosecute cases where someone is drugged (for example, having their drink spiked) specifically to facilitate robbery or another crime while they're incapacitated.
