have you tried this yourself? the rubbing alcohol would leach out the oil from the plants allright, but along with it would come some really nasty flavors. sounds like a very crude way to make some hash oil. if anyone does try this, i'd suggest finding alot more pure alcohol first. it's the %80 water in rubbing alcohol that leeches out the nasty flavors. i'd consider trying 151 or everclear as the alcohol, bet even they might not be pure enough. it's one of the reasons i'm about to make a still. lol!
