Willie Dixon, who wrote the song for Howlin' Wolf, stated unequivocally more than once that the song is not about drugs. It's about lovemaking. “People who think ‘Spoonful’ was about heroin are mostly people with heroin ideas,” he wrote in his autobiography, I Am The Blues.

She's a promiscuous women who hangs around the docks and picks sailors with whom to have flings. Prostitutes don't pick their customers, it's the other way around. The ones with the money get to choose who they spend it on.
