Is marijuana overrated?

That depends on the quality of the product. Before you start smoking, know what you're buying and who you're buying from first. There are many different strains of cannabis that is always readily available, whether it be a delivery system or the kid-that-everyone-knows-to-get-weed-from… Smoke as much as you want, as any effect it may have on your body is temporary (just don't do it every minute of your life). Whatever you do, do not get into the hardcore drugs. You do not want to mess with anything else.
