All prescriptions are checked in person by a pharmacist who's had at least 5 years at University and in training, is held responsible for all items dispensed, and most likely does "give a toss".
Having said that, as far as I'm aware there is no regulation against self-prescribing, but good ethical practice says that a GP should see another doctor. A doctor regularly receiving prescriptions for certain substances at a local chemist would certain arouse suspicion at the very least.
