Another question , what is the ratio of cannabis to spices, and what is the quantity in a day? It says 2.5 g of spices but how much cannabis?
Is there any indication when to use it, or whenever you feel like.

Panj pattay or 5 leaves is a traditional amount I've heard of. Note that it's leaf, not bud (what modern growers throw away)

The topic of time of administration is interesting: Sikh sources often state the morning (Panth Prakash specifically), European sources mention Sikh soldiers doing it in the evening after fatigues.

About the same, PP was written around the the early to middle 1800s, and the white accounts are probably very late 1700s. 

Here's the granth:

There's sections on political rule too. This granth is eye opening. But if you do notice any discrepancies between the Panjabi and English translation, do flag them if you have the time and inclination.

In the following  link, Guru Nanak Dev Ji is having conversation with Babar in Emnabad, regarding the Bhang, and how to do bhagti, very detailed. This is katha of Gurbani on Ang 721. Reference to bhang 15:50 minutes.

I think black pepper also works to help the body's cells take difficult to absorb nutrients in, I know it does that with curcumin (haldhee).  

Yes, it's called "bioperine" and available to purchase in tablet and capsule form also. Piperine or Bioperine works by stimulating liver enzymes which in turn will help metabolize haldee  more efficiently. Personally, I do recommend that you take it with most fat soluble vitamins and supplements. Common fat soluble vitamins are A,D,E and K.  Nowadays, some multivitamin and mineral brands include the bioperine (3-5g) as an active ingredient.

There's an interesting terpene in cannabis called beta-caryophyllene or caryophyllene.

 

Also called beta-caryophyllene or BCP, this terpene can be found in aromatic oils like rosemary and clove oil, and in nature it's most commonly found in hops, cloves, black pepper, oregano, cinnamon, and basil. It's responsible for the slight bite of pungency associated with smelling cracked pepper.

 

Also, the following might help explain why black pepper is a common ingredient in bhang:

 

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.

 

The above is interesting, because if it's true, our traditional recipes for bhang have ingredients that dampen down the THC psychoactive affect?

"Sukhnidhaan" brothers, not Bhang. Bhang (Cannabis/Marijuana) is just one ingredient of Sukhnidhaan.

Daas probably heard in Katha that Moti Elaichi (Black Cardamom) is used in Sukhnidhaan.

Chhoti Elaichi is Green Cardomom

Both are good for health anyways.

Buds have much higher concentrations of cannabinoids and I'm pretty sure the range and ratios of different compounds (cannabinoids, terpenes etc.) differ in leaf and buds.

This is posted on the first page of this thread by Singh1234567. Note reference to black pepper.

ਚਿਤ ਕੀ ਚਿੰਤਾ ਦੇਤਿ ਮਿਟਾਈ । ਰਿਦੈ ਸੰਤੋਸ਼ ਕਰਹਿਂ ਸੁਖਦਾਈ । ਕਰ੍ਯੋ ਸੁਖਾ ਦੁਖ ਹਰਿਬੇ ਹੇਤੁ । ਛਕਹਿ ਖਾਲਸਾ ਮਿਰਚ ਸਮੇਤ ।41। [Sukha] removes all doubts from one's mind, fosters contentment in one's heart and brings great happiness. Make Sukha to destroy all pains from ones heart, by adding black pepper the Khalsa consumes [Sukha].
