Why do you grow?

im just curious as to why people choose to grow their own shrooms. i started because the more i read about psychedelics, the more i want to do them, but it is impossible to find someone to buy shrooms or LSD from. also it gives me a good sense of accomplishment. my cakes just started pinning today and i know when im tripping it will be even better to know that i grew them myself.

I grow because I was introduced to mushrooms and got really interested in them. Then I happened upon this site called shroomery.org and there I read to my heart's content and learned that growing mushrooms really ain't that hard at all. You don't need expensive set-ups or complicated experience, all you need is patience and cleanliness.

Originally, it was because I wanted psychedelics, and getting anything other than mescaline in the form of dried San Pedro was (and still is) proving difficult. I read around, discovered that growing mushrooms wasn't the hardest thing in the world, and decided to do that. In the process, though, I've discovered it's quite fun to improve one's knowledge of fungal processes in general, and putting one's knowledge of theory into practice in such a directly gainful way is pretty satisfying. I also tend to get attached to the little guys (I catch myself referring to individual mushrooms as 'him' all the time ).

if u really wanted to know, well i got bored and wanted to try something different, after many years of smoking weed, i got bored of it and it had lost its effect so decided to stop for a while, I then came across this site and thought hey i could try to grow mushrooms, and as i have never tried them before when they finally do grow it would be a much bigger reward than going out and picking them or buying them.
Since starting i have become increasingly interested in mycology not just of the magic variety but also edible, which i would like to start growing soon

Wow homeless guys must get powerful trips in the vein of "where is my life going.." i know if i ended up homeless then tripped itd be like my life flashing before my eyes.
or id already be insane, think im jesus and go nuts on them
i grow time to time because i like to trip every few months and the fresher the shroom the better the trip i beleive, i eat them right after picking, all you need is a baby cube fresh and you have a lovely easy going trip, nothing like dried crusty shroomz where i jst feel up and down all the time.
and its more satifying youve grown them yourself and not picking them out of dogshit and piss next to trees.

I originally found that tripping was was too cool.. after my first hit of LSD i was hooked ..then I stumbled across shrooms one day and I found the experience awesome.I still remember that first trip..;) a memory I dont want to ever forget..I searched hi and low for mushies and only ever was a able to procure 1 bag after searching for litterly years of asking around..bout 10 yrs ago I found the PF site and was amazed how easy the stuff needed was available..
I did get in some legal trouble when my landlord stumbled across my setup..(mostly cause I was growing herbs also)..and had to quit for years and now I'm back..this time for self enjoyment.. BTW I forgot how much fun it was to grow..OCD really sucks but it keeps me busy..
another big reason is that I live in a area where jobs are constantly testing for illegal substances (I chose not to drink alcohol anymore )and shroomies let me get my grove on and not have to worry what comes up on Mondays

I grow because it's my favorite hobby along with music, and you get rewarded at the end. I think I also kinda like saying fuck the man! I'll do what I want.

I grow because an eighth of shrooms here is 30-35 bucks and i have better things to spend money on. Then i got really interested in the hobby aspect of it and will be growing a variety of different magic/medicinal/edibles soon.

damn thats expensive, one of the other reasons i decided to grow, the initial setup costs may turn out a tad expensive but once ur on the way the returns are more than acceptable (and im not talking about selling..which i do not intend on doing)

Actually I do shrooms in order to expand my consciousness and become a better human being. It cured my alcohol problems also. The smart shrooms told my to buy a para-glider, which I did. Now I can even see the world from a bird-view perspective... without having to have fear.Yes, the talkin' shrooms did a very good job.
