Not quite true. As an example, if you've been handling the bud with your hands, then do the sealing without washing them, there will be sufficient smell for dogs to detect, even if you cannot. Even doing the sealing in a room where you've smoked will leave enough scent behind. You should wash the sealed package in a bleach solution to remove any remaining odor. As noted above, a 10-15 minute soak in a 10% solution is more than sufficient. Bleach attacks and breaks down organic molecules readily, which is one of the properties that make it so useful for laundry.
