The purpose of all this

This is a general discussion. Maybe I should post this in Off-topic but since I want to hear mainly from growers, I thought it would be easier to post where you guys hang.
Long story short, I discovered this great hobby 12 years ago and back then I was really enjoying growing, learning the methods and improving my skills. Even at first, consumption was not my main goal since psychedelics were totally unknown to me and was basicaly growing for friends. I was hooked on the hobby and after a couple years, 80% of the fun was the hobby and tripping just a nice bonus.
Back then, everything was about PF-Tek with a poor man's pod or spawn casings in a greenhouse will cool mist humidifier. I had mixed results, lots of good crop and lots of failures. Whatever, I was having a good time with the hobby. I guess I grew something like 300g dry over the years and that was plenty enough for me and friends .
Then I quit.
Then, I'm back.
I am amazed by how the knowledge evolved during those years. Monotubs? Wow. . Stacked monotubs all over the place ? Very impressive. 
I read standards about a nice monotub should give 250g dry per flush and stuff like that. I read people here telling they have so many dried shrooms at home they literally have no clue where to store them now.
My question is : what you do with all of this? What's your purpose about growing fruits and storing them? Are you simply addicted to growing and storing bags and bags of dried oz is just part of the hobby?
Ok i'm not a heavy tripper and before you tell me I should use them more... even then. Even if someone is using 5g every weekend, a single successful monotub should do the trick for a year.
Of course, selling is stupid and just bad business. Even giving them away to a lot of people, to me, attracts negative focus on yourself.
I feel like I must try those monotubs really soon, will probably get good at it in no time and will be stucked with 150 times the amount I really need since growing is where the fun really is for me.
Maybe I should switch to edibles.
So what's the purpose of all this, growers around here?
take care everyone.

Shrooms are probably my favourite drug but I don't trip very often. Buying them is expensive and picking them is very unpredictable, growing them and sharing with a few close friends is much more satisfying them buying them from the deep web.

I already have more than my wife and I will eat in a year, and I've only been doing this two months. It's simply fun, and educational. I don't know how to stop. Next Month I am starting edibles as well

You sound like my mind set. In addicted to growing. I also grow edibles, but am just now starting to even try actives. I don't want to trip more than one or twice a year anyway, so small is fine me and my wife;) no need for me to do bulk grows.

If I was going to be a prepper: food, guns, weed, mushrooms... that's it.

I'm in the same boat OP. I used to run a website back in 2001 detailing how to grow Ps. Mexicana, because I just wanted to help get the information out to people somehow. Now people are growing several stone producers like it was Kentucky bluegrass. The wealth of easily accessible knowledge now is dizzying and nothing like how painfully gained the knowledge was back in the late 90s. Hehe. I'm happy to see all the progress.
It's interesting though, to be sure, how all these "teks" have developed and evolved.

I'll build a still, hopefully my wife will stay alive, and yes... bacon would need to be on that list! Actually I think I might make some mash up in a few weeks now that you have me thinking if it. Definitely no coke. I hate that shit.

It's fun, it's nice to have good mush, it supplements my income and gives friends super cheap booms.
Also, I'm trading 4.5 oz for an 800 dollar balisong. The knife maker wanted mush, so I started growing. Currently have 7 66qt monos colonizing.

You really think I was expecting 12 good written replys 100% focussed on the question? 
we are on Shroomery, where things can fly in all directions anytime.
I enjoy it that way.
Thanks everyone else for honest answers so far

The purpose is to make the mushrooms. They call to us for that. Don't overthink it!

Fuggem.
We all admit to cultivation, but we never admit to sales. It's odd, I think.
I'm sure there's quite a few of us dropping pounds to people. I get lucky if my homie comes up with 10 bucks for a quarter.

That's because people offering illegal trades are probably cops. Not to mention, you'll get yourself banned

I never sold.
I also lost ounces for storing them for too long. And in some way, it will always be a waste for me because I see no reason to open up a 1 year old bag when I have some fresh cubes of fresly dried ones available.
That's why I was asking for the purpose of all this.
So far my favorite answer is that we are tools for the magic and we are getting used to spread magic life.
