Hate to burst your bubble here, but have you looked into the ACP? The name sounds nice, but they are Christian Dominionists and believe that the US is a Christian nation that should be ruled by Bible-based principles. Tancredo is running on their ticket as a convenience. He has almost nothing in common with them in terms of worldviews (they overlap on some of the social/wedge issues). I'm gonna go ahead and go out on a limb here and guess that under 99% of ACP candidates, marijuana, medical or otherwise, is not going to be an issue we'll agree with them on.

Sorry, but being a single issue voter is impossible for me. Sure I care about mmj but I also do care about gay rights, the environment, and preserving Social Security and medicare/medicaid. On the overwhelming majority of issues I could not disagree more with Tancredo. So I won't be pulling a lever for him just because of mmj.

I do wish that there was a third party because I'm one of those who falls into the fiscal conservative/social liberal grouping. Unfortunately the majority of elected Republicans aren't fiscal conservatives in practice, and their social views are repugnant to me. So I end up voting Dem most times because at least they're honest about spending. So, pretty much, politics sucks.
