No. Opiates are opioid alkaloids naturally occurring in the Opium Poppy, as wall as many chemicals derived from these naturally occurring alkaloids. Basically the drug in opium poppies, or any drug derived from these naturally occurring drugs. Heroine, Morphine, Codine, Thebaine, Hydrocodone (loratab), are examples of opiates.

LSD however is hallucinogenic typtamine. Other examples of tryptamines are serotonin, melatonin, psilocyben, and DMT.

The term narcotic has many different meanings, and thus the answer depends on which sense the word "narcotic" is used. In a medical sense, only opioids are narcotics. In a strict legal sense, opioids and cocaine are narcotics (due to wording in a piece of legislation). In common use, narcotic may loosely refer to any psychotropic substance. LSD is not a narcotic in any sense except the last one.

No, LSD is a Hallucinogen

Narcotic: a drug that produces numbness or stupor; often taken for pleasure or to reduce pain; extensive use can lead to addiction.

Yes of course. It is simply condensed resin from the cannabis plant. It is also one of the strongest forms of cannabis.
