Growing up in Holland it was very difficult to get weed as a kid, because everyone just buys it at the store, which doesn't sell to minors.

Cocaine, though, offered to me all the time!

Uhm... Same situation with alcohol or tobacco. It is very easy to find young adults or desperate people that will more than gladly buy you some for a share or some cash.

Never seen cocaine though..

It tends to get snorted ;)

The problem with buying cocaine on the streets is that the quality is terrible (note: not anecdotal; I've never used cocaine AFAIK). The Dutch TV series Spuiten & Slikken (about sex & drugs, aimed at youth) broadcasted an item on that. The cocaine was ground up together with crap like washing powder, glass, and what have you.
