For anyone interested, I highly recommend these two books:

It's a fascinating read about the chemist Alexander Shulgin

Hamilton's Pharmacopeia has some wonderful exchanges between Hamilton, Sasha and Ann. What beautiful souls, who brought so much light to this world.

If you read Phikal, you will see some not-great comments on Sasha's treatment of his first wife.

You’ll also see profound examples of unconditional love and companionship between Sasha and Ann throughout the entire book.

Life is complicated. So our the relationships we forge with people. I do not condone the mistreatment of others. And it saddens me to read this, but we all have darkness inside of us, even if a little. It can be tough co-existing, especially with those we love very much. I guess I just wanted to see the joy but you are not wrong in pointing out that Sasha is human. Quite.

And as the other commenter mentioned, there was an abundance of love in that relationship too. That much is evident.
