Is a scalpel dangerous in the hands of a surgeon? Hopefully no, because they recognize and understand what it is they are holding and take responsibility for its use. Hypnosis is no different.
The state is not of itself harmful. That is just being hypnotised will not harm you, but to be hypnotised requires a hypnotist and with that comes responsibility.
To declare that we can eradicate a phobia for instance and not use the exact same process to cause one would be very irresponsible, and just a little stupid. So the answer in truth is that hypnosis is no more dangerous than the person using it.
