In '60s "Underground parlance": "rain" was always a metaphor for (either) the visualization of a LSD trip, or the idea of environmental fallout from a nuclear war with the then-Soviet Union.
Because Fogerty and CCR were seen as "unhip"/"AM radio"/"non-Counter Culture"/etc. when they were contemporary, this song can be interpreted as: Fogerty mocking all the hype about drug usage (back then) supposedly being "mind-expanding" and "enlightened" at the peak of the Woodstock era; while it was already showing itself to lead to nothing but self-destructive nihilism.

Oh yeah, prior to a major copyright overhaul which involved the question(s) of: "distribution privileges" and "ownership liabilities" of musical works contained on physical media, occurring in 1972 --- A CONSUMER *REALLY* DID HAVE ACCESS TO BUYING A FORMAT COPIED DIRECTLY FROM A SECOND-GENERATION MASTERTAPE IN A STORE.
(the repercussions of that legislation, coupled-with rising Seventies' inflationary cost/benefit analysis though, was what phased-out the dedicated reel to reel consumer market and dumbed-down sound reproduction --- the boutique vinyl subculture today is all Amazon fraud bullshit deliberately ignorant of what the best already was capable of in the '60s)
