I had the same experience in the US Midwest. Weed was far easier to obtain than alcohol, in part because the underground black market has always involved teenagers, and in part because adults able to buy/sell alcohol could get into big trouble supplying it to minors.
I'm sure there are adults willing to illegally provide cannabis to kids, just as there have always been some willing to do so with booze. However, the legal market obliterates much of the underground black market (which is part of the point), so I would expect supplies to be much more limited than in a prohibition environment where the incentive to break the law is already greater for all potential consumers.
In my experience, most adults who can get what they want without breaking the law would far rather do that than take risks they don't have to. Why would I open the door to being thrown in jail to help some children get high? Not to mention all the possible secondary consequences.
