Reverend Kelly Addison truly embodies what she does as the founder and Managing Director of Kelly’s Green Lounge (KGL), a cannabis-friendly establishment quickly gaining notoriety within the cannabis community, and within its local community of Orono, ON. Kelly is warm, welcoming, supportive friend to many, and she is deeply in love with cannabis. She is kind to everyone, and a big part of her impact is in spreading the kindness and love that the cannabis plant would want for us within the cannabis community.

Kelly brings a wealth of experience as an educator, counsellor, and builder of community to her work in founding KGL. She is a Certified Reiki Practitioner, and is studying plant medicines and other healing modes to add to her skill set. She has been practicing reiki on cannabis plants, saying “Goddess Bless” as she prays over them for a fruitful harvest. Motivated by the spiritual aspects of the plant, Kelly was ordained as a Minister in 2020, and holds “The Cannabis Church of KGL” as a celebration of unity, community, and respect for the cannabis plant and her divine properties.

For her role in advancing cannabis and advocacy for the eventual inclusion of cannabis lounges under The Cannabis Act, Kelly has been recognized in several media publications on the international stage. She has appeared on media across Canada, The United States, and also on Australian T.V. show Obsessed With.

Kelly’s goal in life is not not only save the planet through cannabis and hemp, but also to marry Jason Mamoa.
