Fogerty was recently interviewed about this song which he wrote shortly after the birth of his first son.
It is NOT about drugs.
It is simply about childish imagination and the things that it can conjure up.
@chrisb1 Boy , this Fogerty song is talking about locking the door to smoke and then travel through the effects of marijuana ... Then you say if you do not want to travel on a flying spoon and see things provided by a magician! But if you do not want to see the truth in the song the problem is yours alone. In normal state no one can see elephants playing in the band or giant tumbling and at the end he says : Today I do not want problems and watch the back door for me smoking quiet !...

Fogerty just wanted to write its version of Lucy in the Sky with diamonds .
@chrisb1 The "Flying Spoon" is one of those spinning fair rides. Not every thing with the a word in in that's been usurped by drug culture is a reference to drug culture. Those words all had long held meanings before. But if it makes you feel better about your choices continue to read drugs into every song ever written more power to you.

I always thought the flying spoon reference was about trying to feed an infant. (Like "Here comes the airplane! Open up!")

I thought it was a reference to "Hey Diddle Diddle" ("the dish ran away with the spoon").
