A gateway drug is defined as one that leads to the use of other drugs. Generally LSD is not considered to be a "gateway" drug because it a much more mature and complex drug with relatively stationary set of users.

-- Psychedelic drugs are used almost exclusively by persons under 30 years of age.

There is a strong correlation between LSD and other drug use.

A total of 12,721 Brazilian university students participated in this study... hallucinogens, were used both before and after other illicit drugs without any marked predominance for either of the two roles. --

However the use of the drug has been considered to be a "gateway" to another world by many of its users. Timothy Leary and Aldous Huxley both used LSD to enhance the mind and claimed that it could alter perceptions into a entirely new reality.
