If I recall correctly there is related work getting some traction in Canada too, which is on the whole further up the curve on some of this stuff due to federal legalization.

Especially in British Columbia. The government is way forward in implementing "TrustOverIP.org" type DID/VC/ETC systems for interacting with the government

You're both sorta correct; cannibis in Canada is covered by Health Canada who's still taking reports via CSV upload. It's like a 4k column thing. And no IDs

It's going to be a mix of federal, provincial, maybe even municipal government systems (e.g. business licenses for cannabis retail). I imagine they'll have a hybrid of new-, old-, and low-tech like many other areas. Somehow people will muddle through.
