1mg dose of klonopin (clonazepam) lasts for about 8 hours.half life 18-60 hours.the half life seems meaningless if it only therapeutically works 8 hrs.explain?

Therapeutic: Of course these are just standards for a general population. But, therapeutic levels represents a blood concentration that is high enough to see the effect of the medication still working. Blood levels of the chemical/drug/medicine are detectable but not at a level to provide with the well known effect of the medication.
