nope, that's exactly right. at 5-10% you feel real effects, not at 1200ppm or 3000 or any other psychosomatic level.

"poisoning" is a needlessly loaded word in this context. CO₂ is literally critical for life. just about any molecule/compound at those concentration levels (outside of those we co-evolved with, like nitrogen) will have noticeable effects as well.
