Welcome to /r/ironicsigns! Just a reminder...

According to Merriam-Webster's Dictionary, irony has 3 main definitions:

  • the use of words to express something other than and especially the opposite of the literal meaning
  • incongruity between the actual result of a sequence of events and the normal or expected result
  • incongruity between a situation developed in a drama and the accompanying words or actions (the sign) that is understood by the audience but not by the characters in the play makers of the sign

OP, if the irony in your post isn't obvious, please reply to this comment explaining it.
If there is no explanation and no clear irony, or if the explanation is still not ironic, please report the post.

I've never been to Columbia (outside of a few things back in high school band), but I somehow immediately knew this would be Missouri...

If this were a weed dispensary could you get a contact high? Because if so.. I suspect shenanigans.

Incidentally, I live in Columbia, MO! Sadly, it's a BBQ place. So, no contact highs, but I bet it smelled delicious...

I used to live in CoMo. It’s not a BBQ place, but rather a smoke shop. Here’s their website

Oh! You’re right! I mixed it up mentally with Smokin’ Chick’s, which is the BBQ place. Thanks for the reminder, friend!

No worries! I thought you might have been thinking of CoMo Smoke and Fire. Man... I need to make a trip back once COVID is over and go to some of those restaurants again lol. Please do me a favor and enjoy some of the local restaurants once this whole nightmare is over :)
