Correct answer

Yes, six points.

Yes, six points are deducted. The exception concerns substances used under medical prescription for therapeutic purposes, provided the driver remains able to drive with due care, caution and attention. A final administrative penalty and criminal proceedings are distinct and may have different consequences.
