What exactly is "P"?

P-Diddy? (Scratch that guess) After careful review of the videos it
ppears that P is a band named possibly "P" as in Puff.
Just as DejaVooDoo is singing about Beer.

P is methamphetamine nzherald.co.nz

<Pure methamphetamine makers may be heading to isolated parts of North Auckland after being squeezed out of Auckland, police say.

Two laboratories for making the drug, known as P, have been found in homes at Mangawhai this month and the town's sole policeman is urging property owners to scrutinise potential tenants.

Men arrested in relation to the labs came from outside the area and Mangawhai Senior Constable Graham Gough said the men may have moved to the area after coming under pressure from police in larger centres.

The first lab was found at a rental address near Mangawhai Heads on October 2.

"There was a strong glue smell, which is attributed to one of the solvents used to manufacture methamphetamine," Mr Gough said. "The place reeked -- and I mean reeked -- of solvents."

All the doors and windows at the address were closed and the curtains were drawn to keep the distinctive smell in.

The lab was only partially set up and no methamphetamine had been made.

Five men, aged in their 20s, were arrested and charged with drug-related offences. Most of them were from the Waitakere region in West Auckland.

"The CIB in those large areas have been leaning on these guys and it's got them coming to these areas."

A Hibiscus Coast man was arrested after a second lab was found at an address on October 15.

The arrest followed a neighbour reporting suspicious behaviour and a confrontation at the address in which a gun was drawn.

Mr Gough urged homeowners to ask for full disclosure from tenants before renting their houses.

Kaipara District Council chief executive Jack McKerchar said both methamphetamine-affected houses could not be lived in again until they were cleaned to strict regulations.

A total of eight houses in the Kaipara area have been condemned after P labs were found inside.

Mr McKerchar said when a P lab was found in a house the house had to be thoroughly cleaned, at a cost of about $5000, before it could be deemed habitable. ... continued... <
