I am Dutch. The Dutch are far more liberal than most people with regards to weed. But it is well documented that use of weed in children who are still growing up and developing, does have bad effects on your health and well-being. Even the Dutch would think this is a bit too young to start with such behaviors to put it mildly.
In this case, it seems your friend's parents and siblings are not thinking of the consequences of access to weed. And it seems the shop personnel are not following the laws either.
As you said, you are growing up. Part of it is to explore what that exactly means. Imitation of "adult" behavior (starting relationships, alcohol, and other things) is one way of exploring.

It's creepy to know that already this stuff is happening to my friends.

It is indeed a bit creepy. It is good that you are aware of these changes, and the reasons behind them.
The most important thing is to stick to your own sound judgement. Don't do things because others make them out to be cool, but because you want to do them yourself.
