I never did it... but it seems a good idea indeed. Maybe some peppermint leaves... or something like this...
And i dont think it would hinder the extraction... unless the herbs you infused had some substance much alike the cannabinoids, what i think its not much usual... there is also the possibility that of some substance in the herbs could react with the THC, but i think its even less probable...
Anyway, doing two extractions, the first one with alcohol+herbs, then strain the weed and then a second extraction with pure alcohol can help to maximize the THC extraction.
