Hahah ya I wonder if someone knows how closely related they are... they seem to share alot of similarities in a sense as do all pepper family plants . I remmeber reading a paper on this about kava. It seems they both have minor pain relieving effects as well which is interesting ... I put black pepper on tons of Stuff too and actually It works great when you have a tummy ache
