Are any plants dangerous?

No, not all medicinal plants are safe, just like not all medicine in general is safe. If used incorrectly eg. internally rather than externally; or if used to treat the wrong ailment, the plants could have no affect, worsen the illness or be life-threatening. Some traditional medicines from oriental and indigenous cultures have ALWAYS had neutral or negative effects, such as animal parts believed to increase libido and sexual prowess that have no effect whatsoever. An example of a medicinal plant that can be fatal is the Arnica Montana or Wolfsbane flower. If internalised results can vary from diarrhea and vomiting to death. However there is a pain relief spray, Pain Away, that utilises the traditional use of the plant to reduce pain and swelling.
