Matthew Duffy (Duffy) is a myco-poet, writer, musician, and cultural alchemist. From 2018-2023, Duffy was instrumental in making Denver the first city to decriminalize psilocybin mushrooms, and later making Colorado the first state to fully decriminalize psilocybin and other entheogenic plants.

We explore the initiation Duffy went through that led to this calling, as well as the trials and tribulations that followed it.

Through it we discuss mythopoetics, human development, and what it means to wake up, grow up and show up.
