You said it yourself, people are just paying the 10 euro for the prescription to avoid the hassle of growing themseleves or establishing/becoming part of a social club. It's a loophole that works, I doubt those people actually think that it is curing their illnesses.

Some definitely do believe it’s a cure for their illness.
For sure some do, and for some it really helps (although those people could get medical marijuana even before "legalization"). Speaking anecdotally, all the people I know buying weed from pharmacies just say they have "back pain" or "sleep issues" to get the prescription because it's way easier and quicker to find than any other way.
