Here's the original bhang recipe as noted in the Report of the Indian Hemp Drugs Commission, Volume 3, page 143 from 1894-1895. Note the amount of pepper! The terpenes in pepper have a soothing, synergistic relationship with cannabis in edibles.
"Black pepper contains the terpenes pinene and caryophyllene, which are both known to tamp down THC's psychoactive tendencies to create a more calming, therapeutic effect. Caryophyllene, which is also found in cloves and cinnamon, is the only terpene that can bind to the same receptors as THC, according to Leafly."
