T-Break Length Calculator

1) Convert input into daily THC (mg)

• THC_mg = grams × 1000 × (potency% / 100) (for flower/concentrates)
• THC_mg = mL × 1000 × (potency% / 100) (rough vape estimate)
• THC_mg = servings × mg_per_serving (edibles)
• Or enter THC mg directly.

2) Convert to flower-equivalent grams/day

• Reference potency: 20% ⇒ 200 mg THC per gram
• flower_eq_g = THC_mg / (1000 × ref_potency% / 100)

3) Baseline weeks from intensity bands

4) Adjustments

• Frequency factor: 0.60 + 0.40 × (days_per_week / 7)
• Duration add: +1 week (3–11 months), +2 (12–35), +3 (36+)
• Method add: +1 (vape/concentrates), +0.5 (edibles)
• Goal multiplier: 0.75 (lower), 1.00 (reset), 1.25 (deep)

5) Final range

• recommended_days = ceil(adjusted_weeks × 7)
• Range: ±15% to reflect variability.

1) What “tolerance” means

Tolerance is the reduced response you feel after repeated use. Many people notice they need more to get the same effect. A break gives your body time to recalibrate, and your routine can feel effective again afterward.

2) Why break length varies

There is no single perfect number of days. Frequency, typical dose, and how long you have used consistently all matter. This calculator converts your inputs into an estimated daily THC amount, then maps that to practical break bands.

3) Converting habits into comparable numbers

When you enter grams, the calculator estimates THC mg using potency. For example, 0.5 g at 20% potency is about 100 mg THC (0.5 × 1000 × 0.20). Edibles use servings × mg per serving. This keeps different methods comparable.

4) Flower-equivalent intake helps decision making

To standardize, the calculator also shows a flower-equivalent value using a 20% reference. At that reference, 1 g corresponds to about 200 mg THC. If your estimated intake is 40 mg/day, that is roughly 0.2 g/day equivalent.

5) What the intensity bands represent

Light patterns (below about 0.3 g/day equivalent) often match shorter breaks like 1–3 weeks. Moderate patterns can land around 4–8 weeks. Higher, daily-heavy patterns may benefit from longer windows such as 10–12 weeks. Your result shows a range to reflect real-world variability.

6) Frequency and history add small, realistic adjustments

Using fewer days per week reduces the estimate slightly, while longer history adds extra time. For example, someone using 3 days/week may see a lower adjusted result than someone using 7 days/week with the same daily amount. Years of regular use can add a few weeks in the model.

7) Choosing a goal: lower, reset, or deep reset

Goals change the final multiplier. A gentler goal aims for a shorter pause, while a deep reset stretches the plan. If motivation is low, a shorter, well-followed break can beat a longer break that is abandoned early.

8) Make the break easier to complete

Pick a start date, remove triggers, and plan alternatives for stress relief like walking, hydration, and sleep routines. Track cravings briefly, not obsessively. Export your results as CSV or PDF and review progress weekly to stay consistent.

1) Is this calculator medical advice?

No. It provides an educational estimate based on your inputs. If you have health conditions, medications, or withdrawal concerns, consult a qualified clinician for personalized guidance.

2) Why do you show a range instead of one number?

People respond differently. The range adds flexibility for sleep, stress, and individual metabolism. Use the center estimate as a target, then adjust if symptoms or cravings are stronger than expected.

3) I don’t know potency. What should I do?

Leave it blank. The calculator uses typical defaults by method to avoid forcing a guess. If you later learn the potency, re-run the calculation and compare the new estimate to your first plan.

4) What if I only use on weekends?

Set days per week to 1–2 and enter a typical daily amount for those days. Lower frequency usually reduces the estimate, but a very high dose can still push the result upward.

5) Do edibles and vaping change the estimate?

Yes. Different methods can involve higher potency or longer effects. The calculator adds a small method adjustment, then relies mainly on estimated THC intake and frequency to shape the recommendation.

6) Can I do a “partial break” instead?

A full break is simplest. If you reduce instead, keep the plan measurable: fewer days per week and lower amounts. Recalculate using your reduced pattern to set a realistic timeline and target.

7) How can I track progress during the break?

Use brief check-ins: sleep, mood, cravings, and energy. Compare day 3, day 7, and weekly notes. Export CSV/PDF after calculating so you can keep your baseline and monitor changes.
