Legal Question in Criminal Law in Arizona

According to Arizona law, unlawfully administering a narcotic drug to a person without his/her consent or knowledge is considered a class 6 felony. Would it be a "non-dangerous" offense or a "dangerous" offense if you did so and then let that person drive without telling him/her?
