You sound like me. I took the same path including the dry herb approach. It eliminates the vast majority of the health downside, and meanwhile your new addiction has some genuinely productive side effects if you find the right strand etc. Compared to alcohol which slowly kills you and causes horrible decision making.

I run out of productive energy around 2-3pm and the herb brings me right back! It virtually doubled my productive hour range. Its better not to take anything but as far as baby steps go this switch was a massive win.
