Pure codeine base is not very soluble in water, and it doesn't have a very long shelf-life.
Such chemicals are often salted with a dilute strong acid to make them more water soluble and increase their stability.
So Codeine Sulphate is Codeine base plus a little bit of sulphuric acid.

Why is heroin proved to be more effective than morphine and codeine?
Heroin is in its pure state and bonds to opiate receptors in the brain far better than morphine and codeine. Codeine is a derivative of opium where as heroin is actual opium. Codeine and Morphine are broken down and made relatively safe by pharmaceutical companies, where as heroin is made to be strong, without proper dosing. They both (codeine, morphine) bond differently than heroin and to less receptors in the brain, making them less effective, as well as addictive. Both are still very addictive, beware.

Does LSD contain codeine?
No. LSD is Lysergic acid Dethylamide. In it's pure laboratory form it's just what it is -- pure LSD. Street LSD is often cut with other drugs, most notably amphetamines and other stimulants. This happens when the stimulant is less pricey than the LSD, so less LSD can be used with similar effects, as stimulants tend to "enhance" the trip. Codeine is a completely unrelated medication that has no perceived interaction with LSD.
